The Rise of the AI Underground: Rebooting Silicon Valley

Posted by in categories: education, habitats, robotics/AI

As part of our own recent AI hackathon, the NFX content team spent 48 hours going from house to house, office to office, talking with top founders about their work — what’s hard, what’s exciting, and what will never be the same again. What’s really happening day in and day out at hacker houses and AI social clubs is electric and an entirely new way of thinking and building. This is the rise of the AI underground.

NFX has not invested in any of the highlighted companies in this documentary. See more content from us at — www.nfx.com

Federal government is buying your data, report says

Posted by in categories: government, internet

A new report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence reveals the federal government is buying Americans’ data from “data brokers.” Most of it is sold by vendors claiming the data is anonymous, but experts argue it’s easy to reveal personal information. Josh Skule, former FBI executive assistant director of the intelligence branch, joined CBS News to talk about the report.

Police got called to an overcrowded presentation on “rejuvenation” technology

Posted by in category: life extension

It’s not every day that police storm through the doors of a scientific session and eject half the audience.

But that is what occurred on Friday at the Boston Convention and Exhbition Center during a round of scientific presentations featuring Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, a specialist in “rejuvenation” technology at a secretive, wealthy, anti-aging startup called Altos Labs.

Lina Ghotmeh wraps Hermès leather workshop in “galloping arches”

Posted by in category: habitats

French-Lebanese architect Lina Ghotmeh has created a brick workshop in Louviers, France, for luxury brand Hermès that is the first industrial building to achieve France’s highest environmental labelling.

The wood-framed Maroquinerie de Louviers workshop, located in Hermès’ hub in Normandy, was built from over 500,000 bricks produced by local brick-makers located 70 kilometres from the site.

Large, swooping arches open the 6,200-square-metre building up to an internal courtyard around which the workshops are placed, with arched windows designed to let in natural light.

Hetero-Aggregation-Induced Tunable Emission in Multicomponent Crystals

Posted by in categories: engineering, materials

Crystal engineering is a green and convenient approach to designing desirable materials through rational manipulation of intermolecular interactions. We have reported the lesser reported sulfonate–pyridinium intermolecular interaction for the design and synthesis of organic co-crystals with improved features. Here in we report the utilization of the interaction to tune the solid-state luminescence of organic precursor naphthalene disulfonic acid (NDSA-2H). Organic salts of NDSA-2H are synthesized and characterized with three isostructural bipyridyl co-formers: 4-phenylpyridine (4-PhPy), 2-phenylpyridine (2-PhPy) and 2,2′-bipyridine (2,2-bpy). Structural investigation validates aggregation of organic acid and base co-formers through sulfonate–pyridinium synthon and proton transfer between them.
