OpenAI’s AI Chemist Finds a Lab-Tested Way to Improve Drug Discovery Chemistry
OpenAI and Molecule.one connected GPT-5.4 to an autonomous chemistry platform that ran 10,080 reactions and found a TEMPO-based way to improve a difficult Chan-Lam coupling used in medicinal chemistry. The result is narrow, but it shows AI starting to work inside the experimental loop, not just around it.
Avalanche’s 11 Million Degree Plasma Is a Compact Fusion Milestone, Not a Power Plant
Avalanche Energy says its compact Jyn fusion device reached apparent ion temperatures above 1 keV, roughly 11 million degrees Celsius. That is a meaningful plasma milestone, but it is still a long way from net power.
