Flipping the Script: Inverse-Design as Game-Changer in Physics
An international team of researchers, led by physicists from the University of Vienna, has achieved a breakthrough in data processing by employing an “inverse-design” approach. This method allows algorithms to configure a system based on desired functions, bypassing manual design and complex simulations. The result is a smart “universal” device that uses spin waves (“magnons”) to perform multiple data processing tasks with exceptional energy efficiency. Published in Nature Electronics, this innovation marks a transformative advance in unconventional computing, with significant potential for next-generation telecommunications, computing, and neuromorphic systems.

Gene therapy may be “one shot stop” for rare bone disease
For the last 10 years, the only effective treatment for hypophosphatasia (HPP) has been an enzyme replacement therapy that must be delivered by injection three-to-six times each week. Currently, patients are treated with injections of asfotase alfa, a mineral-targeted form of the missing enzyme called tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). This FDA-approved therapy is based on a Sanford Burnham Prebys scientist’s decades of research on the TNAP enzyme and his laboratory’s studies demonstrating preclinical safety and efficacy.
In a paper published January 12, 2025, in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, researchers added additional weight to prior preclinical evidence of the safety and effectiveness of a gene therapy for HPP.
