A life-sciences research team used the artificial intelligence Claude to map for the first time the three-dimensional structure of a vault particle from bacteria and the viruses that infect them, which had previously been known only in plant and animal cells. The AI accelerated manual work from weeks–months to days, although it made errors that the researchers corrected together; the result may help clarify vaults’ function.
