Columbia University team publishes study in Science: key protein synthesis mechanism in E. coli reprogrammed to use only 19 amino acids

Based on cross-checking three sources, a Columbia University team led by Harris Wang published a study in Science that redesigns a key protein-synthesis mechanism in E. coli so its core process uses only 19 amino acids. All three sources confirm the research topic, main organism, and publication venue; on the specific technical path, Source 2 mentions an early test in which isoleucine in 36 essential genes was replaced with valine. Further experimental details, motivation, and full results cannot be confirmed from the provided sources.

Ubitium Says Its CGRA Can Boot Linux Without a Host CPU, Highlights RISC-V Compatibility

Ubitium GmbH announced on April 28, 2026, that its processor successfully booted and ran off-the-shelf Linux, describing it as the first CGRA capable of executing Linux without a host CPU. All three sources confirm this technical milestone; one source adds that the demo was based on an FPGA prototype and that the chip is compatible with the RISC-V toolchain. The sources do not mention specific performance, mass-production timing, or external validation.

US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand cyber agencies jointly issue guidance on secure agentic AI deployment

The U.S. CISA and NSA, together with cyber agencies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, jointly released deployment guidance for agentic AI/AI agents on May 1, 2026. The core message is that these systems, which can autonomously carry out multi-step tasks, introduce greater cybersecurity risk and should be managed within existing security frameworks, using controls such as zero trust, least privilege and human approval. The three sources consistently confirm the joint release and risk-warning nature of the guidance, though the available source material does not provide a fully consistent set of technical details.

Commonwealth Fusion Systems Enters PJM Interconnection Queue for the First Time, Aiming to Connect a 400MW Fusion Power Plant to the U.S. Grid

Commonwealth Fusion Systems has submitted an interconnection request to PJM Interconnection with the goal of connecting its planned first commercial fusion power plant to the U.S. grid. Three sources consistently confirm that the project is located in Virginia, has a planned capacity of 400MW, and is targeting power delivery in the early 2030s. However, differences remain across the sources regarding the project’s name, the timing of the application, and the details of its commercialization progress.
