Shrinking Protein

"A new AI-based program, dubbed Raygun, can suggest strategic cuts to a protein’s amino acid sequence to shrink the overall structure without affecting the protein’s function (Nature 2026, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-026-10842-8)."

Silver Teeth

"A low-cost liquid known as silver diamine fluoride, or SDF, may offer a much simpler option. Dentists apply it directly to a cavity with a small sponge-tipped applicator, a process that takes only a few seconds for each tooth. The treatment can stop decay without drilling, injections, or 

sedation."
