Paleontologists have unlocked a groundbreaking discovery that brings clarity to the evolutionary history of rhinos. A recent study, published in Nature, reveals how ancient protein sequences recovered from the fossilized tooth of Epiaceratherium sp., a rhinocerotid from the Early Miocene period, are transforming our understanding of this species’ past. These ancient proteins, preserved for over 24 million years, have not …

In the last year, there has been a surge in proteins developed by AI that will eventually be used in the treatment of everything from snakebites to cancer. What would normally take decades for a scientist to create — a custom-made protein for a particular disease — can now be done in seconds. For the first time, Australian scientists have …
