A new method allows scientists to label and image many different molecules at once within a living cell. Measuring those signals and how cells respond to them could shed important light on how cells work — including what happens as they age. https://t.co/lZD5d7r8Kg

Using AI to protect against AI image manipulation: “PhotoGuard,” developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, prevents unauthorized image manipulation, safeguarding authenticity in the era of advanced generative models. https://t.co/JcplKzlFxh

[Markus J. Buehler @ProfBuehlerMIT]

Spider webs are incredible biological structures, comprising thin but strong silk filament and arranged into complex hierarchical architectures with striking mechanical properties (e.g., lightweight but high strength, achieving diverse mechanical responses, multiple biological functions).

Published in @PNASNews today, we are excited to share three graph-focused deep learning techniques (sparse and dense diffusion model, autoregressive transformer) to capture and model the complex design language of large 3D graph architectures—here exemplified for 3D spider webs. We use the methods to generate a diverse array of de novo bioinspired structural designs.
