Research on the record
- 2026-10-17Google Research runs AI agents in a closed loop with a wet lab for three rounds, and designed aptamer hit rates rise from 0% to 42% on thrombinLevel 4 · Tested in the physical world
- 2026-10-14A year of blind methane releases tests 12 satellites and 15 analysis teams: instruments built for methane catch 92-100% of releases, and AI methods produce 79% of the false alarmsLevel 4 · Tested in the physical world
- 2026-10-13A Stanford verifier that hunts for errors in AI maths proofs roughly halves the invalid solutions a human must read, and reports real mistakes in 11 OpenAI preprintsLevel 3 · Checked against existing evidence
- 2026-10-13Nine agents write 135 follow-up papers to order for national-lab scientists; a judge finds 114 of them fail an integrity checkLevel 2 · Computed
- 2026-10-09Ten GPT-5 setups were put on 161 clinical cases: thinking harder helped, running an agent made it worse, and search sank the weakestLevel 2 · Computed
- 2026-10-01AI Theorist builds a model of a quantum material's optical spectra from measurements nobody had published, and the experiment that would settle it has not been runLevel 3 · Checked against existing evidence
- 2026-09-23Stanford's Minerva independently finds reverse-transcriptase-linked repeat arrays across 150 bacterial genomesLevel 2 · Computed
- 2026-09-22Stanford's MUSegNet beats six expert readers at finding prostate cancer on micro-ultrasoundLevel 3 · Checked against existing evidence

- 2026-09-16Stanford's Paper2Agent turns research papers into AI agents that reproduce and extend their findingsLevel 3 · Checked against existing evidence
- 2026-08-06AI verifiers start auditing the scientific record, flagging errors across whole paper corporaLevel 3 · Checked against existing evidence
- 2026-08-04A Multiply Labs robot cluster matches skilled operators on cell-therapy steps, with a lower cell count at low concentrationLevel 4 · Tested in the physical world
- 2026-05-12BiomniBench: on 100 real biomedical analysis tasks, changing the agent harness moved scores more than a model generation didLevel 2 · Computed
- 2026-03-04Evo 2 brings million-base genomic context into an open foundation modelLevel 2 · Computed
