Artificial Intelligence Solves Schrödinger’s Equation, a Fundamental Problem in Quantum Chemistry

Posted by in categories: chemistry, information science, particle physics, quantum physics, robotics/AI, space

Scientists at Freie Universität Berlin develop a deep learning method to solve a fundamental problem in quantum chemistry.

A team of scientists at Freie Universität Berlin has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method for calculating the ground state of the Schrödinger equation in quantum chemistry. The goal of quantum chemistry is to predict chemical and physical properties of molecules based solely on the arrangement of their atoms in space, avoiding the need for resource-intensive and time-consuming laboratory experiments. In principle, this can be achieved by solving the Schrödinger equation, but in practice this is extremely difficult.

Up to now, it has been impossible to find an exact solution for arbitrary molecules that can be efficiently computed. But the team at Freie Universität has developed a deep learning method that can achieve an unprecedented combination of accuracy and computational efficiency. AI has transformed many technological and scientific areas, from computer vision to materials science. “We believe that our approach may significantly impact the future of quantum chemistry,” says Professor Frank Noé, who led the team effort. The results were published in the reputed journal Nature Chemistry.

Deep Sea Mining versus Asteroid Mining

Posted by in categories: futurism, space

Currently, we are faced with a shortage of precious metals from conventional mines. As such, humanity has turned to deep-sea mining in order to gather its precious metals resources. In this video, I will talk about the differences between deep-sea mining and asteroid mining as well as talk about these technologies’ implications for the future world.

Mysterious dwarf planet-sized asteroid is hidden in our solar system, study suggests

Posted by in category: space

Our solar system appears to be home to a huge and unknown dwarf planet-sized asteroid, according to a new study.

A small shard of meteorite that arrived on Earth in 2008 appears to have come from the asteroid, according to researchers who have studied the sample.

The parent asteroid appears to be roughly the size of Ceres, the dwarf planet is the biggest object in the asteroid belt, the researchers say. It also appears to have been formed around water and under some pressure, they found.

Rocky start: 2021 will begin with unwelcome, 220-meter wide asteroid visitor, NASA warns

Posted by in category: space

We’re getting a lot of these aren’t we? 😃


Before that, this year’s final asteroid, 2020 YB4, measuring just 36 meters in diameter or roughly half the wingspan of a 747, passed by the Earth shortly after 6am UTC at a distance of 6.1 million kilometers. That means, in terms of the threat posed by space rocks at least, the planet made it out of 2020 somewhat intact.

Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT) on the Far-Side of the Moon

Posted by in category: space

An ultra-long-wavelength radio telescope on the far-side of the Moon has tremendous advantages compared to Earth-based and Earth-orbiting telescopes, including: (i) Such a telescope can observe the universe at wavelengths greater than 10m (i.e., frequencies below 30MHz), which are reflected by the Earth’s ionosphere and are hitherto largely unexplored by humans, and (ii) the Moon acts as a physical shield that isolates the lunar-surface telescope from radio interferences/noi… See More.

Making Money in a Futuristic World (Jobs and Future Business Ideas)

Posted by in categories: business, economics, Elon Musk, employment, physics, robotics/AI, space

In the not so distant future you could be making money from home by controlling robots, robots that are in another country. Or there will be products, such as a self driving Tesla car, that can go out and earn money on their own.

This video takes a look at the futuristic ways people will be earning money. From telepresence jobs and future business ideas, to new space businesses, and even how people will be storing their money — moving away from cash and credit cards to using chips that are in their bodies.
