Dr Brian Kennedy on Rejuvant, human longevity trials, aging optimally and why individual response to intervention is key.

Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is used by cells during growth and in healing from injuries; studies have shown it may be effective in treating osteoporosis, preventing a decline in protein synthesis, reducing frailty and, in some mammalian studies; even extending lifespan. has gone one step further, adding calcium to produce LifeAKG™, a patent-pending, highly bioavailable and ultra pure CaAKG supplement, backed by extensive research and double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials.

Our Machine Learning models show that there are periods where there are earthquakes magnitude ≥7 and periods without earthquakes with magnitude ≥7 in the analyzed seismic zones. In addition, our Machine Learning models predict a new seismically active phase for earthquakes magnitude ≥7 between 2040± 5and 2057 ± 5, 2024 ± 1 and 2026 ± 1, 2026 ± 2 and 2031 ± 2, 2024 ± 2 and 2029 ± 2, and 2022 ± 1 and 2028 ± 2 for the five seismic zones in United States, Mexico, South America, Japan, and Southern China-Northern India, respectively. Finally, we note that our algorithms can be further applied to perform probabilistic forecasts in any seismic zone.

Our algorithm for analyzing strong earthquakes in extensive seismic areas can also be applied to smaller or specific seismic zones where moderate historical earthquakes with magnitudes between 5 and 7 occur, as is the case of the Parkfield section of the San Andreas fault (California, United States). Our analysis shows why a moderate earthquake could never occur in 1988 ± 5 as proposed by Bakun and Lindh (1985) and why the long-awaited characteristic Parkfield earthquake occurred in 2004. Furthermore, our Bayesian model of Machine Learning adopting a periodicity of 35 years predicts that possible seismic events may occur between 2019 and 2031, with a high probability of event(s) around 2025 ± 2. The Parkfield section of the San Andreas fault is an excellent seismic laboratory for developing, testing, and demonstrating earthquake forecasts. In a few years, it will be possible to demonstrate whether our algorithm effectively forecasts strong and moderate earthquakes.

ARTIFICIAL intelligence has been concerning some of science’s top minds due to the potential that it might threaten civilization as a whole.

A group of researchers came to the frightening conclusion that super-intelligence AI may not be able to be contained, according to the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research.

The study found that controlling a super-intelligence would be beyond human comprehension.

Ray Kurzweil explores how and when we might create human-level artificial intelligence at the January 2017 Asilomar conference organized by the Future of Life Institute.

The Beneficial AI 2017 Conference: In our sequel to the 2015 Puerto Rico AI conference, we brought together an amazing group of AI researchers from academia and industry, and thought leaders in economics, law, ethics, and philosophy for five days dedicated to beneficial AI. We hosted a two-day workshop for our grant recipients and followed that with a 2.5-day conference, in which people from various AI-related fields hashed out opportunities and challenges related to the future of AI and steps we can take to ensure that the technology is beneficial.

Researchers have discovered a new structure of telomeric DNA, which could be key to living longer.

Researchers have discovered a new structure of telomeric DNA

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule composed of two long strands of nucleotides that coil around each other to form a double helix. It is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms that carries genetic instructions for development, functioning, growth, and reproduction. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Researchers at Toshiba Corporation have achieved a breakthrough in quantum computer architecture: the basic design for a double-transmon coupler that will improve the speed and accuracy of quantum computation in tunable couplers. The coupler is a key device in determining the performance of superconducting quantum computers.

Tunable couplers in a superconducting quantum computer link two qubits and perform quantum computations by turning on and off the coupling between them. Current technology can turn off the coupling of transmon qubits with close frequencies, but this is prone to crosstalk errors that occur on one of the qubits when the other qubit is irradiated with electromagnetic waves for control. In addition, current technology cannot completely turn off coupling for qubits with significantly different frequencies, resulting in errors due to residual coupling.

Toshiba has recently devised a double-transmon coupler that can completely turn on and off the coupling between qubits with significantly different frequencies. Completely turning on enables high-speed quantum computations with strong coupling, while completely turning off eliminates residual coupling, which improves quantum computation speeds and accuracy. Simulations with the new technology have shown it realizes two-qubit gates, basic operations in quantum computation, with an accuracy of 99.99% and a processing time of only 24 ns.

Stellar nurseries are a hotbed for heists.

These stellar nurseries are densely populated places, where hundreds of thousands of stars often reside in the same volume of space that the Sun inhabits on its own. Violent interactions, in which stars exchange energy, occur frequently, but not for long. After a few million years, the groups of stars dissipate, populating the Milky Way with more stars.

Our new paper, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, shows how massive stars in such stellar nurseries can steal planets away from each other — and what the signs of such theft are.

The real-world applications are limitless.

A group of researchers from the University of Washington has engineered a new AI tool that can identify and design new proteins. This could lead to more efficient vaccines, better cures for cancer, or new materials, according to a report published by MIT Technology Review.

University of Washington scientists have invented an AI tool called ProteinMPNN that allows them to design any proteins they can conceive of. The tool could lead to new cures and new materials.
