$665 million in cash is nothing to sneeze at, and for AMD, the acquisition is the latest step in the company’s broader pivot that puts its main focus on AI and AI-related technologies. This is nothing new; we’ve seen the same shift happen in other companies like Google, Meta, Apple, and, of course, NVIDIA. However, NVIDIA’s AI focus started many years ago.

“AI is our number one strategic priority,” said Vamsi Boppana, AMD senior vice president, AIG. “We continue to invest in both the talent and software capabilities to support our growing customer deployments and roadmaps.”

“The Silo AI team has developed state-of-the-art language models that have been trained at scale on AMD Instinct accelerators, and they have broad experience developing and integrating AI models to solve critical problems for end customers,” Vamsi Boppana adds. “We expect their expertise and software capabilities will directly improve the experience for customers in delivering the best performing AI solutions on AMD platforms.”

A silent symphony is playing inside your brain right now as neurological pathways synchronize in an electromagnetic chorus that’s thought to give rise to consciousness.

Yet how various circuits throughout the brain align their firing is an enduring mystery, one some theorists suggest might have a solution that involves quantum entanglement.

The proposal is a bold one, not least because quantum effects tend to blur into irrelevance on scales larger than atoms and molecules. Several recent findings are forcing researchers to put their doubts on hold and reconsider whether quantum chemistry might be at work inside our minds after all.

A new publication has discovered ways to reduce the toxicity of graphene oxide (GO), an ultra-thin sheet of nanomaterial derived from graphite, laying the groundwork to use it as a drug delivery system.

Professor Khuloud Al-Jamal, who led the study, said: “Researchers have been incredibly excited in the potential medical applications of graphene since experiments into the nanomaterial were recognised with the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. However, concerns around toxicity have remained a consistent obstacle.”

Graphene oxide (GO) is an ultra-thin sheet derived from graphite. It is similar to pencil lead but includes attached oxygen atoms, making it compatible with water. Its unique physical and chemical properties mean it has a high capacity for carrying antibiotics and anticancer drugs, among others, as well as targeting specific cells, making it a potentially effective drug delivery system.
