Dr. Viault’s red blood cells, which ferry oxygen, had surged 42 percent.
It’s called the Norn cell, named after the Norse deities who were believed to control human fate.
It took humans 134 years to discover Norn cells.
The discovery came about when researchers at Stanford programmed the computers to teach themselves biology.
But the Stanford researchers trained their computers on raw data about millions of real cells and their chemical and genetic makeup.
