AI Tutor Doubles Engagement, Food Dye Makes Skin Transparent, and DeepMind's AlphaProteo


Listen Later

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

In this episode of "Discover Daily" by Perplexity, we begin with a recent study from Harvard, where researchers found that students using an AI tutor in a physics course showed substantially higher engagement and motivation than those in conventional classrooms. The AI tutor offered personalized learning experiences, adapting to each student's unique needs and pace.

Our next story finds a medical use for FD&C Yellow No. 5, the common food dye otherwise known as tartrazine.Tartrazine can temporarily render mouse skin transparent, allowing for non-invasive visualization of internal structures. The technique could significantly change medical imaging and diagnostics if successfully adapted for human use, though challenges remain due to differences in skin thickness.

Lastly, Google DeepMind has unveiled AlphaProteo, an AI system designed to create proteins that bind effectively to target proteins. This advancement could accelerate drug development, disease research, and other biological applications, but raises questions about the ethical implications and potential risks of AI-driven protein design.
