Coding with Qiskit 1.x Series Announcement

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics

Welcome back to Coding with Qiskit! Join research scientist Dr. Derek Wang as he walks you through the exciting capabilities of Qiskit 1 for utility scale quantum computing.

He’ll show you how to install Qiskit version 1 from scratch and how to run quantum circuits–both unitary and dynamic, all based on some of the latest research papers by IBM Quantum–on devices with over 100 qubits using the latest error suppression and mitigation techniques. He’ll also be learning how to contribute to the Qiskit ecosystem with the help of open-source extraordinaire Abby Mitchell.

A modern-day woolly mammoth may be just a few years away, biotech company says

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, existential risks

Colossal Biosciences, a Dallas-based biotechnology company, says it has developed the technology necessary to bring the woolly mammoth back from extinction. NBC News’ Morgan Chesky reports on the opportunities this new technology could bring as well as the concerns some scientists are raising.

AI execs who urgently need more energy to power their tech revolution are turning to fossil fuels

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

AI is driving a dramatic new need for electricity, and while tech execs have long trumpeted their commitment to a green energy future, the urgency of that need presents them with a difficult path forward.

Questions about fueling the AI boom took center stage earlier this month at the CERAWeek by S&P Global, The Wall Street Journal reported. The annual energy conference draws thousands of executives to Houston to discuss topics ranging from geopolitics to the energy transition.

No one knows how much electricity will be needed to power the AI boom. AI requires massive computing power and energy loads and has triggered an explosion of data centers. Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates said at the conference that the amount of power AI is bound to consume is mind-blowing.

AI solves huge problem holding back fusion power

Posted by in categories: nuclear energy, particle physics, robotics/AI

Princeton researchers have trained an AI to predict and prevent a common problem arising during nuclear fusion reactions — and they think it might be able to solve other problems, too.

The challenge: If the Spice Girls were physicists, their song “2 Become 1” might have been about nuclear fusion, a reaction that occurs when two atoms merge.

Fusion releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat — it’s what powers the sun and other stars — and if we could harness the reaction here on Earth, we would have a near limitless source of clean energy.

Drug-Resistant Bacteria Stymied by AI-Designed Antibiotics

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, robotics/AI

Stanford and McMaster University researchers created an artificial intelligence (AI) model to design molecules that inhibit the growth of Acinetobacter baumannii, a common drug-resistant bacteria. They synthesized and validated six structurally novel molecules that demonstrated antibacterial activity against A. baumannii and other phylogenetically diverse bacterial pathogens. This study represents a significant step toward the practical application of generative AI approaches for antibiotic discovery and drug discovery in general.

The research article, “Generative AI for designing and validating easily synthesizable and structurally novel antibiotics,” was published in Nature Machine Intelligence.

Among the most critical issues in contemporary medicine is the worldwide spread of factors contributing to antibiotic resistance. In 2019, drug-resistant infections were responsible for an estimated 4.95 million deaths. As new antibiotics are being developed slower than the spread of antimicrobial resistance determinants, this figure is expected to reach 10 million annually by 2050.

More precise Understanding of Dark Energy achieved using AI

Posted by in categories: cosmology, robotics/AI

A UCL-led research team has used artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to infer the influence and properties of dark energy more precisely from a map of dark and visible matter in the universe covering the last 7 billion years.

The study, submitted to the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and available on the arXiv preprint server, was carried out by the Dark Energy Survey collaboration. The researchers doubled the precision at which key characteristics of the universe, including the overall density of dark energy, could be inferred from the map.

This increased precision allows researchers to rule out models of the universe that might previously have been conceivable.
