In 1981, American physicist and Nobel Laureate, Richard Feynman, gave a lecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) near Boston, in which he outlined a revolutionary idea. Feynman suggested that the strange physics of quantum mechanics could be used to... by admin | Oct 11, 2024 | AI, Google, Google Deepmind, News, Nobel, Other Tech News, physics, The Conversation
The 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for their work on describing and predicting proteins with the help of computers. One half of the prize goes to David Baker from the University of Washington in the US “for computational protein... by admin | Aug 10, 2024 | Higgs particle, Nasa, News, physics, space, Space News, The Conversation, universe
Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk – walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it’s all down to the instability of a single fundamental particle: the Higgs... by admin | Mar 31, 2024 | Computers, Google, News, Other Tech News, physics, quantum computing, Science, super computers, tech, The Conversation
Google and the XPrize Foundation have launched a competition worth $5-29million (R9.4-million) to develop real-world applications for quantum computers that benefit society – by speeding up progress on one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, for example.
