Consider an AI agent tasked with a complex enterprise workflow like migrating massive batches of customer records from a legacy CRM to a cloud database. The agent cannot rely solely on its internal context window for a job spanning hours and depends on the runtime layer, aka the harness. This harness provides execution feedback, like server logs, to help the agent maintain an accurate understanding of dynamic API connections. It also provides state trackers and control-flow mechanisms to manage completed and pending subgoals, ensuring the agent doesn't skip or duplicate data batches. When unexpected errors occur, such as a database rejecting a batch due to strict API rate limits, the harness provides tools and instructions to help the agent recover. The main way to tell an agent how and when to use its tools is to have a human developer write a set of rules and instructions telling it what to do step-by-step. For example, a developer might instruct the agent to always

Neurosurgeons in London have successfully carried out a live artificial intelligence assisted operation to remove a brain tumour, described as a world first for such surgery.Rhys Hibbert, a 48 year old patient, could have lost his sight without the surgery at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) in London earlier this year.During the operation the AI system analysed the live surgical video feed in real time, rather than using presurgery scans. The surgeons remained in full control, but the technology helped the team make more precise decisions by highlighting critical structures at the base of the brain.The procedure represented the first time the technology has been used on a patient this way.Because blood vessels and nerves controlling vision are so tightly packed together in the pituitary gland, and going a millimetre wrong can make a critical difference leading to death, blindness, or stroke, the surgical team used AI...

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have demonstrated for the first time that nano-antennas can enhance the fluorescence of proteins in living human and other mammalian cells. Scientists already use smart fluorescent proteins that light up when the electrical voltage across a nerve cell changes. By placing nano-antennas close to these light-emitting proteins, researchers can monitor processes inside cells with much greater precision. The discovery adds a new tool for revealing electrical signals in the brain through nanotechnology as well as genetic engineering. The research has been published in Advanced Materials.

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) said Friday they have developed a biomolecular artificial intelligence (AI) model, called K-Fold, that predicts protein structures and how drug candidates bind to them, with the aim of speeding up new drug development using homegrown technology. The model was built by a KAIST-led group called Team KAIST as part of a project run by Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT to develop AI foundation models specialized by field. KAIST President Bae Chung-sik said the project reflects the importance of "sovereign AI" — a country's ability to develop and control its own core technology — for national competitiveness in the AI era. K-Fold is designed to predict not only the 3D shape of a single protein, but also how it interacts with other proteins, drug candidates, or genetic material such as DNA and RNA, and where and how a candidate compound binds.

Author(s): Alexander V. Balatsky and Saikat BanerjeeSuperconductivity begins when electrons bind into pairs. Because electrons are fermions, exchanging the two partners in a pair must flip the sign of its wavefunction — and that minus sign can be paid for in four different currencies: the pair’s spin, its spatial shape, its orbital character, and, less obviously, the relative between the two electrons. Sharing one minus sign among four ± choices leaves exactly eight allowed kinds of Cooper pair. Balatsky and Banerjee show here that this eightfold rule is one face of a larger structure. A pair also has a center of mass — a place and a moment — and a superconductor can order in those as well. Taking internal shape (ρ), internal timing (τ), spatial modulation (R), and temporal modulation (T) as four independent axes builds the Berezinskii–Abrahams hypercube: a
