Warner–Suno deal lets users legally use artist voices in AI songs
New Warner–Suno deal lets creators legally use artist voices and likeness in AI tracks.
It was only last year when Hollywood unions battled AI use in creative industries. Today, Warner Music Group is handing artificial intelligence a front-row seat in the music business.
The company has signed a licensing deal with Suno, the fast-growing AI music platform, marking one of the biggest shifts yet in how the industry approaches AI-generated music.
Under the agreement, Warner Music Group will allow users to generate songs using the voices, likenesses, names, images, and compositions of artists who voluntarily opt in.
AlphaFold: The 50-year grand challenge cracked by AI
For half a century, scientists struggled to predict how proteins fold. A puzzle at the heart of understanding life and curing disease. Then, five years ago, the #alphafold team cracked the code.
Since then, more than 3 million researchers across 190+ countries have used AlphaFold’s freely available database of 200 million+ protein structures, accelerating discoveries in everything from drug design to disease-resistant crops, bee conservation, and plastic-eating enzymes.

Nanoflowers rejuvenate old and damaged human cells by replacing their mitochondria
Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across medicine.
Dr. Akhilesh K. Gaharwar and Ph.D. student John Soukar, along with their fellow researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, have developed a new method to give damaged cells new mitochondria, returning energy output to its previous levels and dramatically increasing cell health.
Mitochondrial decline is linked to aging, heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Enhancing the body’s natural ability to replace worn-out mitochondria could fight all of them.
Collaborative rule learning promotes interbrain information alignment
How do brains align during social interaction to support shared understanding? This study shows that interbrain information alignment emerges rapidly and strengthens with practice, with distinct neural processes supporting sensory synchrony during early alignment and shared cognitive representation in real pairs during late alignment.
