The Ancient History of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has been a topic of growing prominence in the media and mainstream culture since 2015, as well as in the investment world, with start-ups that even mention the word in their business model, gaining massive amounts of funding. While to many, the hype around AI may appear sudden, the concepts of modern artificial intelligence have been around for over a century and extending further, the concept of artificial intelligence and artificial beings have been in the minds of humans for thousands of years.

The Microscope That Uses Quantum Physics to Trace Atoms
In the late 1970s, two physicists in Switzerland set out to invent a new type of microscope using quantum physics that would allow them to do something no one had ever done before: see the individual atoms in a sheet of metal.
Meet Elena Fersman: Unleash the power of remote robotics
The nexus between humans and robots has entered a new era – with humans just as likely to learn from machines as the reverse, thanks to AI and machine learning. Discover why it’s paving the way towards zero-touch operations and a landscape in which the network will automatically adjust and react based on the needs of the robots.
Scientists are building a wormhole tunnel analogue in quantum circuits
Scientists have proposed to build a functional wormhole tunnel by simulating quantum entangled black holes in a lab. Quanta Magazine reports the linked black holes are theoretically able to teleport quantum information via the tunnel.
Black holes were thought to totally obliterate the objects they consume. However, the experiment will test a new idea in physics that evaporating black holes actually send information about subsumed objects back to the universe via Hawking radiation.
Citing California Institute of Technology physicist Sepehr Nezami, the outlet reports the research team believes a black hole could be forced to disgorge intact information after it is entangled with another black hole on a quantum level.
Stanford University’s Adam Brown is cited as saying quantum circuitry could make a functional analog for entangled black holes. If the theory is correct, this circuitry would be able to instantly transmit and decrypt qubits, also known as quantum teleportation.
Imagine Beyond: Human Machines: Can Artificial Intelligence be Ethical?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing quickly. It can deliver precise medical predictions and analytics, create realistic fake photos, exchange faces in films, direct traffic and communicate with us. The growing power also raises more questions: what if AI is unethical or even evil?

Using robotics to rapidly screen for coronavirus medicines: Scripps Research COVID-19 updates
The merger of outstanding basic scientific research, industrial robotics and a unique drug-discovery collection powers the battle against COVID-19 at the Scripps Research, Florida campus. Louis Scampavia, PhD, and Timothy Spicer, PhD, describe the high-throughput drug screening program at Scripps Research, in Jupiter, Florida.
