Imagine designing unbreakable polymers or miracle batteries overnight. Prof. Heather Kulik shows why AI's materials revolution is real, just not AlphaFold-simple.
Big Pharma hates relying on Google as much as academics do. They're pouring cash into open protein-folding AI—but don't call it altruism.
Everyone figured it'd be another CEO pep talk on AI wonders. Instead, Pichai drops a personal origin story — and a gigawatt-scale bomb in India's backyard.
AlphaFold nailed prediction. PLAID? It designs. By sneaking into folding models' latent spaces, this new system spits out novel proteins on command, trained on sequence oceans no structure database can match.
