Drug discovery is one of the most expensive failures in modern industry. Finding a single viable molecule can take a decade and cost billions, and most candidates still don’t make it.

But SandboxAQ thinks the bottleneck isn’t the models. It’s the interface. The company has teamed up with Anthropic to integrate its scientific AI models directly into Claude — putting powerful drug discovery and materials science tools behind a conversational…

Martin McCabe, West Sussex County Councillor for Worthing West, has written to Southern Water’s chief executive following the incident, which has led to the emergency road closure of Alinora Crescent in Worthing today (May 18). The closure has been put in place under a Section 14(2) notice, to allow for urgent works following reports of a foul sewage line entering the surface water network and causing spillages into local bathing waters. Cllr McCabe said: “This is clearly a matter of significant concern in terms of environmental impact, public health, and the disruption caused to local residents. “Residents in Worthing will…

For decades, the commodities market followed a predictable pattern: demand rose as emerging markets became more industrialised, and technological advances slowly lowered the cost of extraction. But as we get closer to 2026, something new has broken this cycle. We are seeing the AI Power Paradox, which is a structural change in which AI is both the main cause of commodity scarcity and the best way to fix it. The AI Power Paradox isn’t something that needs to be “solved.” It’s something that needs to be managed. Producers have a clear job: they need to turn into a tech company…

New York public health provider NYC Health + Hospitals says a months-long data breach that allowed hackers to steal personal data, medical records, and fingerprints scans affects at least 1.8 million people. NYCHHC is the largest public health system in the United States and provides healthcare to over a million New Yorkers, the majority of whom are uninsured or receive state healthcare benefits, such as Medicaid. The healthcare system reported the number to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, making it one of the largest healthcare-related data breaches of the year so far.

In December 2023, scientists looking at Mars data stumbled across something completely unexpected — observations of an atmospheric effect never before seen in the Red Planet’s atmosphere. Using instruments aboard NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) mission, scientists identified a phenomenon known to occur in Earth’s magnetosphere, where charged particles are squeezed like toothpaste coming out of a tube along magnetic structures called flux tubes. This so-called Zwan-Wolf effect aids in the deflection of solar wind around Earth and has been observed and studied there for decades. Now, a new study published in Nature Communications provides the first comprehensive…
