ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DeepMind Has Predicted the Structure of Almost Every Protein Known to Science<\/strong><\/a>
Melissa Heikkil\u00e4 | MIT Technology Review
<\/em>\u201cFrom today, the Alphabet-owned AI lab is offering its database of over 200 million proteins to anyone for free. \u2026The update includes structures for \u2018plants, bacteria, animals, and many, many other organisms, opening up huge opportunities for AlphaFold to have impact on important issues such as sustainability, fuel, food insecurity, and neglected diseases,\u2019 Demis Hassabis, DeepMind\u2019s founder and CEO, told reporters on a call this week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRANSPORTATION<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You Can Now Buy a Flying Car for $92,000<\/strong><\/a>
Kristin Houser | Big Think
<\/em>\u201cThe Jetson One can\u2019t be flown at night, over city traffic, or in restricted air space, either, so right now it\u2019s more like a really expensive,\u00a0really cool toy than an alternate transportation option. But if we can do\u00a0this<\/em>, what\u2019s preventing the launch of flying cars that\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0replace our daily commutes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SENSORS<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This Stamp-Sized Ultrasound Patch Can Image Internal Organs<\/strong><\/a>
Maggie Chen | Wired
<\/em>\u201cIn a\u00a0paper\u00a0published today in\u00a0Science<\/em>, Zhao and his team describe their development of a tiny ultrasound patch that, when stuck to the skin, can provide high-resolution images of what lies underneath. The scientists hope that the technology can lead to ultrasound becoming comfortable for longer-term monitoring\u2014maybe even at home rather than at a doctor\u2019s office.\u201darchive page<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CRYPTOCURRENCY<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum Swears That This Time, It\u2019ll Actually Move to Proof of Stake<\/strong><\/a>
Kyle Barr | Gizmodo
<\/em>\u201cThere\u2019s a date. That date is Sept. 19. That\u2019s when those sitting like royalty at the top of the Ethereum blockchain say they\u2019ll finally move their proof-of-work-based blockchain system over to proof-of-stake. They\u2019ve made promises before and have routinely pushed back deadlines, but now they have a date, and so far, all those involved seem like they agree that\u2019s when it can happen\u2026 maybe\u2026 hopefully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ETHICS<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is DALL-E\u2019s Art Borrowed or Stolen?<\/strong><\/a>
D. Cooper | Engadget
<\/em>\u201cGenerative artificial intelligences (GAIs) are systems which create pieces of work that can equal the old masters in technique, if not in intent. But there is a problem, since these systems are trained on existing material, often using content pulled from the internet, from\u00a0us<\/em>. Is it right, then, that the AIs of the future are able to produce something magical on the backs of our labor, potentially without our consent or compensation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HEALTH<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Buck Institute, Where the Promise of Aging Research Isn\u2019t Longevity<\/strong><\/a>
Grace Rubenstein | Neo.Life
<\/em>\u201cThe leaders of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging want you to know that they\u2019re not going to make you immortal. Even if they could, they wouldn\u2019t necessarily want to. Because extending life just to spend a few more years on Earth is not the point. But if their field has something deeper and better to deliver, they have reached the moment when they really have to prove it\u2014which is what they are furiously working to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPACE<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SpaceX\u2019s CTO of Propulsion Retired. Now He Wants to Go to Mars.<\/strong><\/a>
Aria Alamalhodaei | TechCrunch
<\/em>\u201cMuch of Mueller\u2019s vision for Impulse is premised on launch becoming extremely low cost, and as a result, there being a lot of payloads in space that need to be moved around. He likened fully reusable heavy-lift rockets like Starship, Terran R, and Rocket Lab\u2019s Neutron to the internet in the early \u201990s. \u2018People don\u2019t know really what it\u2019s going to do or what it\u2019s all about or what the real killer apps are,\u2019 he said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENERGY<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After Going Solar, I Felt the Bliss of Sudden Abundance<\/strong><\/a>
Clive Thompson | Wired
<\/em>\u201cGiven all the political barriers that renewables face, it might seem weird to talk about their\u00a0emotional impact<\/em>. But emotion drives politics. This is why some renewable advocates are now trying to tout\u2014as loudly as possible\u2014that a world powered wholly by renewables would be an overflowing horn of plenty, with fast, sporty cars and comfortable homes. \u2018It\u2019s the abundance agenda,\u2019 [Saul] Griffith says.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FUTURE<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

3-Story Space Habitat Is Designed to Fit in SpaceX\u2019s Starship Rockets<\/strong><\/a>
Kevin Hurler | Gizmodo
<\/em>\u201cFor students at a boarding school in Switzerland, the curriculum now includes extraterrestrial architecture. The school has installed a 23-foot-tall, 3D-printed prototype of a space habitat that was designed with SpaceX rockets in mind. \u2026Institut auf dem Rosenberg wants to place sustainability at the forefront of this project; to that end, the habitat is powered by wind trees (a type of wind turbine) and the polymer used to print the main tower can be broken down and recycled into other 3D printed structures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCIENCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two Weeks In, the Webb Space Telescope Is Reshaping Astronomy<\/strong><\/a>
Jonathan O\u2019Callaghan | Quanta
<\/em>\u201cIn the days after the mega-telescope started delivering data, astronomers reported exciting new discoveries about galaxies, stars, exoplanets and even Jupiter. \u2026The \u2018healthy competition,\u2019 as Mahler calls it, highlights the enormous volume of science that is already coming from JWST, days after scientists started receiving data from the long-awaited, infrared-sensing mega-telescope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
