Bacteriophages, tiny viruses that infect bacteria, could help treat antibiotic-resistant infections. Scientists are using artificial intelligence to understand how these viruses function at a molecular level.
How healthier farm animals can cut greenhouse gas emissions
Improved animal health on farms reduces wasted resources from miscarriages and other reproductive losses, lowering greenhouse gas emissions from feed production and land use. Healthier dairy cows prevent resource losses including feed already grown, water consumed, and emissions released during pregnancies that do not result in milk production or viable offspring.
