The robot scientist discovered a component in toothpaste capable of curing a new kind of malaria. An international team of specialists told about the discovery of artificial intelligence named Eva to the world.
robot scientist, discovered a cure for a new strain of malaria. Artificial intelligence has found new properties of triclosan, a synthetic compound that is found in toothpaste, soap and detergents. Previously, scientists have already tried to use triclosan in the fight against malaria and found that it interferes with the multiplication of bacteria, but does not affect the parasite.
Similarly, other drugs work, but the value of the discovery is that triclosan does not cause any harm to the human body, minimizing side effects. Scientists hope that the discovery of Eve will help create a new drug based on triclosan for the treatment of new strains of malaria.
