BioEmu AI reveals protein choreography in biological conditions
Proteins aren't rigid sculptures. They twist, flex, and sometimes unravel — movements essential to understanding their function. Some proteins, like enzymes, open like clamshells to grab molecules. Others such as signalling proteins shift shape to control cell processes. Still others briefly reveal hidden gaps where drugs can bind. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like AlphaFold have made structure prediction routine, but they typically yield just one stable form, a single frame from what is really a moving picture. A new deep learning system called BioEmu, developed by Microsoft and researchers at Rice University in the US and Freie Universität in Germany, predicts the full range of shapes a protein naturally explores under biological conditions. Known as the equilibrium ensemble, it allows high-resolution protein flexibility modelling at scale, unlike slower, more classical approaches. Described in Science, BioEmu is faster and cheaper, enabling large-scale predictions of protein function. To understand BioEmu's significance, it helps to see what it's up against. The gold standard for modeling protein flexibility is molecular dynamics (MD), which tracks atomic movements at millionths of a billionth of a second using tools like GROMACS or Anton. Despite its ultrafine resolution and accuracy, MD is slow and costly. Simulating motions over microseconds or milliseconds can take tens of thousands of GPU-hours, even on supercomputers. BioEmu sidesteps this bottleneck by relying on an AI diffusion model. To train BioEmu, researchers first fed it real protein structures, from millions of AlphaFold-predicted assemblies, 200 milliseconds of MD simulations spanning thousands of proteins, and half a million mutant sequences from experimental stability measurements. It's like dropping a sugar cube into a glass of water: the original structure, clear and defined, is gradually dissolved. BioEmu's real task is to learn how to run that process in reverse: from noise to a sugar cube. Once trained, it can generate thousands of plausible protein conformations from scratch. BioEmu excelled at benchmarks. It captured large shape changes in enzymes, local unfolding that switches proteins on or off, and fleeting cryptic pockets, temporary crevices that can serve as drug docking sites, like in the cancer-linked protein Ras. It predicted 83% of large shifts and 70-81% of small changes accurately, including open and closed forms of a vital enzyme called adenylate kinase. It also handled hard to predict proteins that don't have a fixed 3D structure and how mutations affect protein stability. Fast but not fully detailed While MD simulates how proteins move over time, including interactions with water and drugs, BioEmu quickly generates snapshots of all the stable shapes a protein is likely to adopt. It can produce thousands of these structures in minutes to hours on a single GPU. But it can't show how a process unfolds. 'If a researcher wants to understand how a drug reaches a hidden binding site, MD can reveal the step-by-step pathway,' says Kalairasan Ponnuswamy, bioinformatician and assistant professor at SRM Institute of Science and Technology. 'BioEmu shows the final shapes, not how the protein gets there.' MD also handles temperature shifts, membranes, and other conditions that BioEmu's static predictions can't yet model. BioEmu also can't model cell walls, drug molecules, pH changes or show prediction reliability like AlphaFold. It's also limited to single chains and can't model how proteins interact, a key part of most biological processes and drug targets. 'It's better seen as a hypothesis-generating tool than a source of final conclusions,' says Ponnuswamy. As the system grows to handle more complex proteins and chemical interactions, researchers may still need experiments or older simulation methods to validate what it proposes. Still, the conceptual advance is clear. If AlphaFold provided the protein world's blueprint, BioEmu sketches its choreography. By capturing flexibility quickly across thousands of proteins, it enables large-scale drug discovery and function studies with fewer resource constraints, Ponnuswamy notes: 'Tasks that took weeks will now take hours.' He does however emphasise the need for proper training and skill-set acquisition. 'Future scientists will not only need a deep grounding in physics and chemistry, they'll also need fluency in machine learning and physical modelling to unlock the true potential of such hybrid approaches.' The researchers see BioEmu and MD as complementary tools. BioEmu can quickly generate a range of plausible conformations, which MD can then explore in detail. This hybrid approach could greatly reduce simulation time while preserving fidelity. Anirban Mukhopadhyay is a geneticist by training and science communicator from Delhi.

From intern to ₹2,00,00,00,00,000: How a 28-yr-old techie who interned for 4 years triggered a Google-OpenAI war
Synopsis From interning at five tech firms during college to building a billion-dollar AI startup, 28-year-old Varun Mohan's journey triggered a ₹20,400 crore deal with Google after he rejected OpenAI's ₹25,500 crore offer. His voice-based coding tool, Cascade, sparked a high-stakes rivalry between Google and OpenAI, making him one of the youngest and richest immigrant tech founders today. Varun Mohan Windsurf A 28-year-old Indian-American techie, Varun Mohan, has signed a ₹20,400 crore ($2.4 billion) deal with Google DeepMind after rejecting OpenAI's ₹25,500 crore ($3 billion) offer. The deal sparked a fresh wave of rivalry between the two AI giants and has placed Mohan among the richest immigrant entrepreneurs in the Mohan, born to Indian immigrants in Sunnyvale, California, interned at eight companies -- Quora, LinkedIn, Samsung, Cloudian, and Databricks -- while studying at MIT. These four years of hands-on experience in machine learning, cloud systems, and infrastructure helped him build a strong technical base before he entered the startup space. After graduation, he joined the autonomous vehicle startup Nuro, where he rose to the position of Lead Software 2021, Varun Mohan co-founded Windsurf with his MIT batchmate Douglas Chen. Their company launched Cascade, an AI-native coding platform that allows developers to write and test code by simply speaking to the gained rapid adoption, with over a million developers using it within months. Windsurf raised $240 million and reached a valuation of $1.25 billion. It was later named among Forbes' top 50 AI companies globally. Google and OpenAI were both interested in acquiring Varun Mohan's startup, Windsurf, because of its breakthrough product, Cascade—an AI-native coding environment that allows developers to write, test, and refactor code using natural language. The tool had gained rapid adoption among developers and posed a potential shift in how software is built, making it a strategic asset in the race for dominance in agentic coding and AI-assisted development. OpenAI was close to acquiring Windsurf for $3 billion. However, its primary investor, Microsoft, raised concerns over possible overlaps with GitHub Copilot. As a result, the deal stalled midway. Varun Mohan then accepted Google's $2.4 billion offer. The agreement is not an acquisition. It is a licensing and talent deal, which gives Google DeepMind non-exclusive rights to key Windsurf technologies. Windsurf continues to function as an independent company and can license its tools to other the deal, Mohan, Chen, and a select group from Windsurf's R&D team have joined Google DeepMind to work on agentic coding projects and integrate their systems with Google's Gemini the deal, Forbes added Varun Mohan and Douglas Chen to its 2025 list of richest immigrants. They join a group that includes Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Raj Sardana, and Nikesh Arora.

Your smart TV might be secretly working for criminals, and Google discovered 10 million hacked devices
Google filed a federal lawsuit against 25 Chinese entities operating the BadBox 2.0 botnet , which has infected over 10 million Android devices worldwide through pre-installed malware and fraudulent applications . The tech giant's legal action in New York federal court seeks to dismantle what researchers call "the largest known botnet of internet-connected TVs" ever discovered. The malicious network primarily targets uncertified Android devices including streaming boxes, tablets, digital projectors, and car infotainment systems manufactured in China. "The BADBOX 2.0 botnet compromised over 10 million uncertified devices running Android's open-source software, which lacks Google's security protections," Google stated in its complaint filed July 11. "Cybercriminals infected these devices with pre-installed malware and exploited them to conduct large-scale ad fraud and other digital crimes." Criminal enterprise operates through complex network structure Court documents reveal the BadBox operation functions through four distinct criminal groups: the Infrastructure Group managing command-and-control servers, the Backdoor Malware Group developing pre-installed malware, the Evil Twin Group creating fraudulent app versions, and the Ad Games Group generating fake advertising revenue. The botnet generates profits through multiple fraud schemes, including hidden ad loading, click fraud, and creating fake publisher accounts on Google's Ad Network. Infected devices unknowingly view advertisements, generating revenue for the criminal enterprise while exploiting Google's payment system. "The sole purpose of the Enterprise's apps and websites is to provide ad space for BADBOX 2.0 bots to generate traffic," Google explained in its complaint, detailing how the operation monetizes compromised devices. Court grants preliminary injunction against global operations The federal court has issued a preliminary injunction mandating immediate cessation of botnet operations worldwide. The ruling compels internet service providers and domain registries to actively assist in dismantling the criminal infrastructure by blocking traffic to specified domains. Google has already updated its Play Protect security system to automatically block BadBox-related applications. The FBI issued warnings about the botnet last month, highlighting its spread through supply chain compromises and malicious app downloads. Stu Solomon, CEO of HUMAN Security , which assisted in the investigation, praised Google's action: "This takedown marks a significant step forward in the ongoing battle to secure the internet from sophisticated fraud operations that hijack devices, steal money, and exploit consumers without their knowledge."
