When physics surprises
Konstantina Vogiatzaki expected her knowledge of combustion systems to transfer directly to cryogenic environments. What she found changed her understanding of the field.

Nine researchers. One question: what does AI mean to you and your research?
Finding exploding stars with AI
Every night, the sky generates millions of signals. Héloïse Stevance builds the algorithms that tell the difference — and asks what we risk losing when we let a machine decide what is boring.

Research highlights
Reading the brain before birth
Ana Namburete’s AI model predicts the gestational age of a baby’s brain from a standard ultrasound scan — with implications for preterm care worldwide.

From scratch to working quantum device
Natalia Ares and her colleagues showed that AI can take a quantum device from an unconfigured state to a fully functioning system — automatically.

Do switches dream of machine learning?
Noa Zilberman’s group asked whether the devices that manage internet traffic could run AI algorithms directly. The answer became a research paper — and a question worth asking.

A decade of childhood, uploaded
Jun Zhao invited teenagers to upload their entire social media history. What they saw changed how they understood the algorithms shaping their lives.

Healthcare is a team sport
Alison Noble has spent her career bringing engineers, clinicians and mathematicians together to apply AI to medical imaging, while insisting that human expertise stays at the centre of care.

AI is a tool. What matters is what you do with it
Marina Jirotka on why the future of AI depends not just on what it can do, but on the people, values and decisions that shape how it is used.

The minute you see it, it’s obvious
Charlotte Deane and a student were reviewing celebrated AI results for predicting how molecules bind to proteins when they spotted what everyone else had missed: atoms behaving in ways that broke the laws of physics.

Failure is not optional
There is a famous NASA phrase: "Failure is not an option." Héloïse Stevance inverts it. If you are doing real science, getting things wrong is part of how you get things right.
