A new way of looking at a misunderstood disease is revolutionizing treatments and transforming lives.

The poster child for generative AI software is a startling human mimic. It represents a potential new era in research, but brings risks.

AI is fueling a revolution in science that may change our definition of understanding itself.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way some scientists conduct research, leading to new discoveries on accelerated timetables.

The scientific feat is also ‘a breakthrough for practical applications because entangled molecules can be the building blocks for many future applications. says physicist Lawrence Cheuk.

AI will of mostly taken over science by around 2035. w/ A LOT of foot stompin about science needs a human touch lol.

AI is accelerating the pace of discovery—but at what cost?

Quantum information scientists are always on the hunt for winning combinations of materials, materials that can be manipulated at the molecular level to reliably store and transmit information. Following a recent proof-of-principle demonstration, researchers are adding a new combination of compounds to the quantum materials roster.

In a study reported in ACS Photonics, researchers combined two nanosized structures—one made of diamond and one of lithium niobate—onto a single chip. They then sent light from the diamond to the lithium niobate and measured the fraction of light that successfully made it across.

The greater that fraction, the more efficient the coupling of the materials, and the more promising the pairing as a component in quantum devices.

Is it possible to invent a computer that computes anything in a flash? Or could some problems stump even the most powerful of computers? How complex is too complex for computation? The question of how hard a problem is to solve lies at the heart of an important field of computer science called computational complexity. Computational complexity theorists want to know which problems are practically solvable using clever algorithms and which problems are truly difficult, maybe even virtually impossible, for computers to crack. This hardness is central to what’s called the P versus NP problem, one of the most difficult and important questions in all of math and science.

This video covers a wide range of topics including: the history of computer science, how transistor-based electronic computers solve problems using Boolean logical operations and algorithms, what is a Turing Machine, the different classes of problems, circuit complexity, and the emerging field of meta-complexity, where researchers study the self-referential nature of complexity questions.

Behind every successful scientist, there is another scientist.

You’ve seen the headlines. “A scientist may have proven we live in a simulation!” scream the papers.

“Wow, that’s amazing!” think millions of people as they click the headline to unlock the universe’s secrets.

Our excited curiosity turns to disappointment when we read the article and discover the truth.
