Chicago—Have you thanked a voltage-gated potassium channel today? These channels are ubiquitous across excitable cells like nerve and muscle cells, where they open and close to facilitate the flow of positively charged potassium ions across a membrane. In doing so, they’re a vital part of the processes behind thought and motion, like being able to read this piece.

C&EN covers a lot of the uses of artificial intelligence in chemistry and biology. Long-term readers will remember that we followed the world of protein structure prediction and the de novo protein design field for years before the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced. So when I got advanced notice of a new paper from Brian Hie and collaborators about designing new bacteriophages, it seemed natural for us to cover it for the innovations therein.

Key Insights Devices called brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can restore the ability to communicate and move in people with severe paralysis. These devices need an electrode to collect information from the brain, but it’s unclear how deep into the brain they need to go. Start-ups and research collectives are leveraging different techniques and materials to get BCIs closer to people who need them.
