Scientific Agents and Quantum Computing

A coding agent can calibrate a qubit until the signal gets weird

OpenAI and MIT connected a general coding agent to a live superconducting-qubit lab. It handled routine measurements, then reminded everyone why ambiguous physics still needs a scientist.

Scientific AI and Evaluation

The best AI research assistant still misses nearly four points out of ten

SciDocBench tests the complete scientific reading workflow, and its strongest evaluated model scored 62.6 while struggling to keep papers, figures, equations, code, and evidence connected.

Scientific AI and Evaluation

The chemistry model may be remembering the answer, digit for digit

German researchers tested 22 frontier models on molecular-property benchmarks and found that some impressive scores were partly built from retrieving published measurements.

Autonomous Science and Physical Systems

Before the AI touches the robot arm, it has to prove the experiment is possible

Researchers built a computable representation of the laboratory so an agent can verify equipment, materials, dependencies, and safety constraints before physical work begins.

Science and Hardware

AI just found the door to the physical world

A new shared hardware standard wants to help agents operate microscopes, robot arms, and lab machines without a custom translator for every device.
