Researchers have developed an artificial metal-based nanozyme that can clamp down on abnormal blood clotting

What happens when artificial intelligence meets one of humanity’s oldest and most revered texts? 

A team led by Duke mathematician Shira Faigenbaum-Golovin is transforming biblical scholarship by using AI-driven statistical modeling to identify the likely authors behind the Bible’s earliest books — and explain how those conclusions were reached. This interdisciplinary collaboration, involving archaeologists, physicists, and linguists, pushes the boundaries of both the humanities and data science. 

From analyzing pottery fragments to the priestly texts of the Torah, the project showcases the power of cross-disciplinary research to uncover new insights from ancient evidence.
