The Download: AI-designed viruses, and bad news for the hydrogen industry

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-09-24 03:10:00

Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team in California says it used AI to propose new genetic codes for viruses—and managed to get several of them to replicate and kill bacteria. The work, described in a preprint paper, has the potential to create new treatments and accelerate research into artificially engineered cells. But experts believe it is also an “impressive first step” toward AI-designed l

Peacock's movie library is solid. I say that as someone who regularly forgets to check out the NBC Universal-owned streaming service when I'm in the mood for a movie night. We get so used to tapping into the big dogs like Netflix and Disney Plus, and they are chock full of good stuff, but Peacock deserves its flowers, too. There's always something cool to watch on Peacock, no matter what genre you're looking for. Then there's the Universal part of the equation. Universal Pictures knows its way

One of the frequent emails that I get about Infinite Mac is “I’ve been copying over these files to every mac I’ve owned for the past 20 (or 30 or 40) years, how can I load them into your site?” While there’s been a “The Outside World” drive from the very beginning, all it can do is a best-effort import/export using available browser APIs.
