Rare earth mineral recovery from spent batteries. AI-driven decision-making for sustainable energy systems. Engineered proteins that extract valuable minerals from wastewater. Safer, less expensive batteries using sulfur. These are among the pursuits of the third cohort of the Stanford Energy Postdoctoral Fellowship. This summer, the Precourt Institute for Energy will welcome 10 early-career researchers to Stanford University.

Trained on a dataset that includes all known living species—and a few extinct ones, Evo2 can predict the form and function of proteins in the DNA of all domains of life, identify molecules useful for bioengineering and medicine, and run experiments in a fraction of the time it would take a traditional lab. "It is really good at discovery."Imagine being able to speed up evolution – hypothetically – to learn which genes might have a harmful or beneficial effect on human health.

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes are able to speed up life-sustaining biochemical reactions so dramatically. Their findings could impact fields ranging from basic science to drug discovery, and provoke a rethinking of how science is taught in the classroom.
