Robot chemist discovers new molecules and reactions
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: chemistry, information science, robotics/AI
A glimpse at the coming AI researchers. (AI’s that do research).
A new type of artificial-intelligence-driven chemistry could revolutionise the way molecules are discovered, scientists claim.
In a new paper published today in the journal Nature, chemists from the University of Glasgow discuss how they have trained an artificially-intelligent organic chemical synthesis robot to automatically explore a very large number of chemical reactions.

Online portal of thousands of clinical trials could aid disease research
Posted by Derick Lee in categories: biotech/medical, health, policy
Vivli, which spun out of a policy think tank at Harvard University–affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, is part of a push to encourage drug developers to share trial data—even negative results, findings that show a treatment has no benefit. Companies seeking U.S. regulatory approval for a drug, as well as investigators funded by the National Institutes of Health, must post limited, summary results on ClinicalTrials.gov. But many researchers and policy analysts believe sharing detailed raw data on individual patients, stripped of identifying information, would be valuable. Researchers could confirm that a drug works, look for side effects, or explore new questions.
Vivli aims to ease sharing of anonymized clinical studies.

World’s fastest man-made spinning object could help study quantum mechanics
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: biotech/medical, quantum physics
Researchers have created the fastest man-made rotor in the world, which they believe will help them study quantum mechanics.
At more than 60 billion revolutions per minute, this machine is more than 100,000 times faster than a high-speed dental drill.

Latest News from Space.com, Scientists have discovered 12 previously unknown moons orbiting Jupiter, and one of them is a real oddball.
While hunting for the proposed Planet Nine, a massive planet that some believe could lie beyond Pluto, a team of scientists, led by Scott Sheppard from the Carnegie Institution for Science, found the 12 moons orbiting Jupiter. With this discovery, Jupiter now has a staggering 79 known orbiting moons 67 was its previous count, more than any other planet in the solar system.

Researchers prove the arrow of time is irrelevant to quantum computers
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: computing, quantum physics
It turns out that our limited understanding of time is born out of faulty observations and limited perspective. Luckily, quantum computers are on the way.
