(3/14) Since 2019, the large permanent exhibition “Understanding AI” at the Ars Electronica Center on the Danube has been telling stories about artificial intelligence. Here, visitors can learn more about the fields of , , new materials and the global changes of our time. During the festival, brand-new media artworks and other visual highlights will also be presented in Deep Space 8K. ars.electronica.art/center/en/

We've got some more disease-resistant rice!

UC Davis and many international scientists have used CRISPR to create a new cultivar that is broadly resistant to many diseases.

The gene Resistance To Blast 1 (RBL1), when knocked out, improved resistance, but lowered yields 20 fold. So a mutated allele was made instead to keep the benefits and lose the downsides.

Bees, like all other organisms, have a lot of parasites. And it is likely that these are the main contributors to issues like colony collapse disorder (CCD).

UT Austin scientists have targeted one such deadly fungal parasite, Nosema ceranae, and have genetically modified a bacteria commonly found in bee guts to produce an RNA interference system preventing the fungus from making spores.

More developments in making gene drives using CRISPR.

In order to combat Drosophila suzukii fruit destroying flies, NC State researchers have created a "homing" gene drive targeting the fly doublesex gene that, if inhibited, will result in sterility of the next generation.

Since the gene is so conserved, it could also be used as a target with other harmful insects.
