A central column of metallic, cylindrical lenses and optical components is arranged diagonally, through which a light blue cone of light passes, projecting onto a rectangular detector plate at the bottom. A bright, neon-purple laser beam intersects the middle of the column, causing a glowing orange wave at the intersection. The setup is set against a dark purple background patterned with faint ripples small, repeating blue and red protein-like structures. Blurred blue and red bokeh lights with a white logo spelling Genesis Mission over top. Two scientists point at a figure on the computer.

Combatting Antibiotic Resistance with Nanotechnology, Robotics, and AI

A robot arm drops liquid onto an endless conveyor belt of tiny chip devices. Inset images show these chips each hold many individual droplets arranged in a grid, and within this liquid, bacteriophages are attacking a bacteria.
