Purdue Students Work To Prevent Harmful Algae Blooms

Posted by in category: futurism

Wish Purdue students a lot of luck. Wouldn’t it be interesting if Purdue rescued Governor Rick Scott from his algae disaster in FL.


With toxic algae blooms closing beaches in Florida, the project is no longer just a local concern for the group.

Weird quantum effects stretch across hundreds of miles

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

Interesting study occurring on subatomic particles (aka neutrinos) in how they can be in superposition, without individual identities, when traveling hundreds of miles.

Now, MIT physicists have found that subatomic particles called can be in superposition, without individual identities, when traveling hundreds of miles. Their results, to be published later this month in Physical Review Letters, represent the longest distance over which quantum mechanics has been tested to date.

A subatomic journey across state lines

Right Now, Artificial Intelligence Is The Only Thing That Matters: Look Around You

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

If there’s one thing the world’s most valuable companies agree on, it’s that their future success hinges on artificial intelligence.

Google is continuing to invest heavily in deep learning at a time its head of machine learning, John Giannandrea, is calling the artificial intelligence spring (as opposed to the AI winter of earlier times). The company’s Founders’ letter this year mentions machine learning up to five times, leaving no doubt that it believes its advantages in this area will give it the edge in the coming years. In short, CEO Sundar Pichai wants to put artificial intelligence everywhere, and Google is marshaling its army of programmers into the task of remaking itself as a machine learning company from top to bottom.
