Apple's new M5 chip delivers 3.5x faster AI performance for local model execution. webAI was mentioned in both announcements as a platform for running LLMs locally on the new MacBook Pro and iPad Pro. If you're running AI on Mac hardware, this changes the economics. Faster

Algal pyrenoids—condensates that mediate ~1/3 of Earth’s CO2 fixation—change size and number as cells divide. Our data suggest a simple control mechanism: a kinase that continuously ejects material from the condensate! ☀️🌍🔬💧 #Biophysics #Photosynthesis

It was such a great pleasure and honor to host Nick Talbot @talbotlabTSL from TSL to visit MPI Biology today. After Nick’s talk , everyone in the audience became a fan of the rice blast fungus! Amazing biology! Thank you so much Nick, for coming to visit us in Tübingen.

This discovery traces back to the spring of 2018, when I was a postdoc in @NikoGeldner ’s lab. After shifting Arabidopsis seedlings from solid to liquid culture, I observed that the root commensal bacterium CHA0 rapidly colonized Casparian strip–defective mutants.
Using precise spatial and temporal analysis, researchers in Science provide insight into how bacteria around the root interact both with the plant and with each other. Learn more in this week's issue: https://t.co/wXSBg9t3gY

Very excited to see our @NikoGeldner lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science! (1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.
