The virus, dubbed Evo-Φ2147, was created by scientists from scratch using new technologies that could revolutionise the course of evolution. With just 11 genes, compared to the 200,000 in the human genome, this virus is among the simplest forms of life. However, scientists believe that the same tools could one day create entire living organisms or resurrect long-extinct species. This artificial virus was specifically created to kill infectious and potentially deadly E. Coli bacteria.

A hymn dedicated to the ancient city of Babylon has been discovered after 2,100 years. Sung to the god Marduk, patron deity of the great city, the poem describes Babylon's flowing rivers, jewelled gates, and'bathed priests' in stunning detail. Although the song was lost to time after Alexander the Great captured the city, fragments of clay tablets survived in the ruins of Sippar, a city 40 miles to the North. In a process that would have taken'decades' to complete by hand, researchers used AI to piece together 30 different tablet pieces and recover the lost hymn. Originally 250 lines long, scientists have been able to translate a third of the original cuneiform text.

Few objects pique the curiosity of academics quite like the Herculaneum scrolls – the ancient documents buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. These priceless rolled-up documents carry ancient text written in carbon-based ink on papyrus – a material similar to paper made from the pith of the papyrus plant. Now, for the first time, researchers have found the title and author inside one of the scrolls known as PHerc. With the help of AI, it has been identified as'On Vices' by the Greek philosopher Philodemus, a historic ethical treatise providing guidance for'cultivating a virtuous life'. In recognition of this achievement, researchers have been awarded the Vesuvius Challenge First Title Prize, which includes prize money of 60,000/ 45,000.

It's been left unread for nearly 2,000 years, last glimpsed when the Roman Empire ruled over Europe. Now, scientists have used AI to virtually unfurl one of the Herculaneum scrolls – the ancient documents buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. 'It's an incredible moment in history as librarians, computer scientists and scholars of the classical period are collaborating to see the unseen,' said Richard Ovenden, senior executive Bodleian Libraries. 'The astonishing strides forward made with imaging, and AI are enabling us to look inside scrolls that have not been read for almost 2,000 years.' The Herculaneum scrolls are thought to contain profound philosophical and literary texts from ancient Greek and Roman scholars. The problem is that any attempts to unroll the burnt cylinders will turn them to dust because they are so fragile – meaning the words would be lost forever.

Each year, snake bites kill upwards of 100,000 people and permanently disable hundreds of thousands more, according to estimates from the World Health Organization. Promising new science, enabled by state-of-the-art technology, could help quell the threat. Researchers have successfully designed two proteins to neutralize some of the most lethal venom toxins, using a suite of artificial intelligence tools, per a study published January 15 in the journal Nature. These "de novo" proteins–molecules not found anywhere in nature–protected 100% of mice from certain death when mixed with the deadly snake compounds and administered in lab experiments. "I think we could revolutionize the treatment [of snake bites]," says Susana Vázquez Torres, lead study author and a biochemist who completed this research as part of her doctoral thesis in David Baker's lab at the University of Washington.

Vape users are inhaling'acutely toxic' compounds that could cause'a new wave of chronic diseases' in the next couple of decades, a new study warns. Researchers in Ireland have used artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate the chemical reactions that take place inside flavoured vapes, also known as e-cigarettes. They found that e-liquids – the liquid inside that gives vapes their flavour – contain a'cocktail' of chemicals that produce'toxic' compounds when heated. Vaping has a'significantly different profile of chemical hazards' compared with traditional tobacco smoking', the study authors report. While they don't say vaping is more harmful than smoking tobacco, they're concerned that new but unspecified health issues will result from the vaping craze.

Ediaf Piaf's rich tones will once again delight music fans as she stars in her own biopic - despite having passed away over 60 years ago. An AI recreation of Piaf's unmistakable voice will be used to narrate'Piaf', an upcoming film about her tumultuous life. Scientists from Warner Music Group have trained an AI on hundreds of recordings of Piaf, some over 80 years old, in order to'revive' Piaf's voice and image. Animation will be used alongside archival footage to tell the story of how Piaf rose to become an icon, including some previously unknown aspects. Julie Veille, who conceived the idea for the film, says that this will'help bring her story into the 21st century.' 'Piaf' will be a 90-minute film about the life of Edith Piaf and will be narrated by an AI reconstruction of the singer's voice The film, 'Piaf', will feature animation as well as archival footage of interviews, performances, and personal footage to tell the story of one of France's most iconic musicians Vielle said: 'It has been the greatest privilege to work alongside Edith's Estate.

Scientists have used AI to unravel a 2,000-year-old mystery, deciphering an unopened scroll charred to ash by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. When Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79CE, the nearby town of Herculaneum was entombed in a flood of volcanic mud and ash, taking with it a library of over 1,800 ancient manuscripts. While it was feared that the knowledge of the scrolls would be forever lost, two computer scientists have just won $50,000 (£41,168) for revealing the first word from the carbonized scrolls. Luke Farritor from Nebraska and Youssef Nader from Berlin independently revealed the same word hidden within the heart of the sealed manuscript - 'πορφύραc' - meaning purple dye or clothes of purple. The discovery was announced by Professor Brent Seales, a computer scientist from the University of Kentucky, who launched the so-called Vesuvius Challenge in March, offering cash prizes for anyone who could read the manuscripts.
