A new machine learning approach offers important insights into catalysis, a fundamental process that makes it possible to reduce the emission of toxic exhaust gases or produce essential materials like fabric.

In a report published in Nature Communications, Hongliang Xin, associate professor of chemical engineering at Virginia Tech, and his team of researchers developed a Bayesian learning model of chemisorption, or Bayeschem for short, aiming to use artificial intelligence to unlock the nature of chemical bonding at catalyst surfaces.

“It all comes down to how catalysts bind with molecules,” said Xin. “The interaction has to be strong enough to break some chemical bonds at reasonably low temperatures, but not too strong that catalysts would be poisoned by reaction intermediates. This rule is known as the Sabatier principle in catalysis.”

Blue is the dominant color, as with the suits that Virgin Galactic passengers will wear.

The pilots and passengers who fly on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo vehicle will be nicely color coordinated.

Brain Muraresku, author of “The Immortality Key — The Secret History Of The Religion With No Name”, discussing his fascinating journey to discover psychedelic potions from antiquity, reconstruct their history in the development of religion and civilization, and their development into a modern neuro-pharmacopoeia.

On today’s show we are going to be weaving together a really interesting range of themes including psychedelics, pharmacognosy and medicinal botany, history, religion & spirituality, end of life care, dreaming, mental health and a whole lot more.

Steve Wozniak is starting a second company, 45 years after he co-founded Apple in Steve Jobs’ parents garage in 1976.

This time, Wozniak is starting a business in the green tech and blockchain space called Efforce, according to a statement released Friday.

Efforce, which has been in stealth mode for almost a year, is a marketplace for corporate or industrial buildering owners to have “green” projects funded.

You can’t always change your feelings. But you can change how you manage those feelings.

It’s only the second time pristine astroid material has been brought back to Earth.

A Japanese space capsule carrying asteroid samples landed in a remote area of Australia as planned Saturday, Japan’s space agency, JAXA, said.

Why it matters via Axios’ Miriam Kramer: It’s only the second time pristine asteroid material has been brought back to Earth. Sample return missions like this one are incredibly valuable to scientists.

Introduction

Hi, In this article, let us go over how you can create a Python program using Convolutional Neural Networks (Deep Learning) and a mouse/keyboard automation library called pyautogui to move your mouse/cursor with your head pose. We will be using pyautogui as it is the simplest available Python library to programmatically control the various components of your computer. More details on how to use this library mentioned below.
