A machine learning solution for designing materials with desired optical properties
Posted by SaĂșl Morales RodriguĂ©z in categories: quantum physics, robotics/AI
Understanding how matter interacts with lightâits optical propertiesâis critical in a myriad of energy and biomedical technologies, such as targeted drug delivery, quantum dots, fuel combustion, and cracking of biomass. But calculating these properties is computationally intensive, and the inverse problemâdesigning a structure with desired optical propertiesâis even harder.
Now Berkeley Lab scientists have developed a machine learning model that can be used for both problemsâcalculating optical properties of a known structure and, inversely, designing a structure with desired optical properties. Their study was published in Cell Reports Physical Science.
âOur model performs bi-directionally with high accuracy and its interpretation qualitatively recovers physics of how metal and dielectric materials interact with light,â said corresponding author Sean Lubner.

Shrinking massive neural networks used to model language
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: robotics/AI
Deep learning neural networks can be massive, demanding major computing power. In a test of the âlottery ticket hypothesis,â MIT researchers have found leaner, more efficient subnetworks hidden within BERT models. The discovery could make natural language processing more accessible.

BioAge lands $90 million; gears up for clinical trials in 2021
Posted by Montie Adkins in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, robotics/AI
Longevity biotech firm BioAge Labs is readying itself for clinical trials after raising a whopping $90 million Series C funding round. The company revealed it will be moving its lead platform-derived therapies, BGE-117 and BGE-175, into Phase 2 clinical trials in the first half of 2021.
Longevity. Technology: As the developer of an AI platform that maps the molecular pathways impacting human Longevity, weâve followed developments at BioAge with great interest. With two compounds ready to enter the clinic next year, and more on the way, this company is fast-becoming one of Longevityâs most exciting prospects.
The new funds will be used to develop BioAgeâs portfolio of therapies for increasing healthspan and lifespan, as well as to augment its AI platform, and further expand its capabilities to test drug candidates in predictive models of human diseases of aging.

Scientists invent technology that can extract oxygen and fuel from Marsâ salty water in huge step forward to colonising Red Planet
Posted by Raphael Ramos in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, space travel
Space exploration company SpaceXâs founder and chief executive officer Elon Musk on Tuesday said he expected humans to land on Mars in six years. He also said that SpaceX plans to launch an unmanned spacecraft and land on Mars in two years, with a chance of the first human landing on Mars in four years instead of six.
United Statesâ space agency NASAâs Perseverance rover which was launched in July 2020 is scheduled to land at Jezero Crater on Mars on 18 February 2021. It will look at signs of ancient life and collect rock and soil samples for a possible return to Earth.
It is carrying instruments that will use high-temperature electrolysis but the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) will be producing oxygen only, from the carbon dioxide in the air.

Energy-generating synthetic skin for affordable prosthetic limbs and touch-sensitive robots
Posted by SaĂșl Morales RodriguĂ©z in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, robotics/AI, solar power
A new type of energy-generating synthetic skin could create more affordable prosthetic limbs and robots capable of mimicking the sense of touch, scientists say.
In an early-view paper published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Robotics, researchers from the University of Glasgow describe how a robotic hand wrapped in their flexible solar skin is capable of interacting with objects without using dedicated and expensive touch sensors.

AI Solves Momentous Disease-Fighting Problem Decades Ahead of Schedule
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI
Diseases caused by folded proteins in the body are all over the news every day, like cancer, Alzheimerâs, and COVID-19. And now, a Google model powered by artificial intelligence could map these folded proteins in more detail than ever before, allowing scientists to âunfoldâ proteins and better explore possible treatments.
