AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoRobotics: Researchers built a soft robotic moth that follows ultraviolet light and uses it to print its own electronic sensors. Biopharma R&D: Vertex plans a 155,000-square-foot advanced-medicines centre at Oxfordshire’s Harwell campus, adding to the region’s growing life-sciences cluster. Agricultural AI: A physics-guided model combines satellite viewing angles with plant fluorescence to improve soybean yield forecasts, turning information often treated as noise into a useful signal. Computing: South Korea has launched its new Hangang supercomputer and plans to link it with a quantum computer next year to boost scientific computing. Clean-energy Chemistry: Researchers report a cobalt-based catalyst that makes ammonia under milder conditions, potentially easing production of a fertilizer and hydrogen carrier. AI and Medicine: Anthropic is testing Claude in drug-development projects; one reported lab effort shortened a CAR T-cell component and increased receptor production, though the work remains experimental. Climate: A new cryosphere report warns that temporary overshoot of 1.5°C could intensify ice loss, raise seas and lock in lasting damage.
