Dubai-based Qeen.ai (stylized as qeen.ai) is working to make this a reality in the Middle East and beyond. The startup has raised $10 million to scale its platform, which provides autonomous AI agents for e-commerce businesses.

Prosus Ventures, a major e-commerce investor, led the seed round, which is not only one of the largest in the Middle East’s AI industry but in MENA overall. The VC believes Qeen.ai is well-positioned to bring AI-driven automation to merchants as AI agents reshape online marketplaces.

Founders Morteza Ibrahimi (CEO), Ahmad Khwlieh (CTO), and Dina Alsamhan (CBO) started Qeen after years of working on AI at Google and DeepMind.

Researchers have developed nanoflower-coated bandages with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties, capable of killing bacteria and promoting wound healing.

A carnation-like nanostructure could one day be used in bandages to promote wound healing. Researchers report in ACS Applied Bio Materials that laboratory tests of their nanoflower-coated dressings demonstrate antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and biocompatible properties.

They state that these results indicate tannic acid and copper(II) phosphate sprouted nanoflower bandages are promising candidates for treating infections and inflammatory conditions.

When synthesizing chemicals, stationary sensors can collect and communicate detailed data from within a reactor system. Physically installed sensors reach their limitations when it comes to mapping concentrations within a fluid flowing through hard-to-reach areas—particularly within long, narrow tubes.

While can be placed on the reactor’s perimeter in an industrial setting, suspending sensors in the center of a pipe would disrupt flow. In a medical application, such as mapping within the intestines to pinpoint , implanted sensors become impractical.

A new framework optimizes the use of time-aware particulate sensors (TAPS)—a that travels through the system and remembers when it encounters a target chemical—to map these uncharted areas.

New genetic research from the University of Florida may help make key crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers more resistant to disease and environmentally resilient as well as increase their nutritional value.

“Our research illustrates the remarkable potential of combining deep taxonomic expertise with cutting-edge biotechnology,” author Fabio Pasin told the Chinese Academy of Sciences, via Phys.org. “By focusing on the Solanaceae family, we can enhance not only widely recognized crops but also bring underutilized species into the agricultural mainstream, improving food security and enriching nutritional diversity across the globe.”

Researchers used recombinant virus technologies to give new breeds of plants particular traits. This method is very specific about promoting certain traits in new breeds. Scary as it might sound to use an engineered virus to change the DNA of our food, it’s a way of improving biodiversity in agriculture when farming has become more and more homogeneous and thus vulnerable.

In today’s AI news, OpenAI said on Tuesday it will develop artificial intelligence products for South Korea with chat app operator Kakao. In a whirlwind tour through Asia, OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman is also scheduled to visit India on Wednesday where he is seeking to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In other advancements, Tana is emerging from stealth, announcing $25 million in funding from an interesting list of backers to get started. Tana is part automated-list builder and note taker, part application enabler, and part organizer. It can listen to conversations or voice memos directed to Tana itself, transcribing them and turns them into action items.

Then, OpenAI filed a new application to trademark products associated with its brand — “OpenAI” — with the USPTO. Normally, this wouldn’t be newsworthy. Companies file for trademarks all the time. But in the application, OpenAI hints at new product lines both nearer-term and of a more speculative nature.

And, a South Korean startup called Cinamon is ramping up efforts to claim a part of this burgeoning market — it recently raised an $8.5 million Series B round to continue building its animated video generation platform “CINEV,” slated to be launched in beta in the first half of 2025.

In videos, watch World Wide Technology Co-Founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh and NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang talk about the evolution and future of AI. During the discussion, Jim and Jensen will also provide practical tips for implementing AI at scale within the enterprise.
