How chaos theory mediates between quantum theory and thermodynamics

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics

A single particle has no temperature. It has a certain energy or a certain speed—but it is not possible to translate that into a temperature. Only when dealing with random velocity distributions of many particles does a well-defined temperature emerge.

How can the laws of thermodynamics arise from the laws of ? This is a topic that has attracted growing attention in recent years. At TU Wien (Vienna), this question has now been pursued with , which showed that chaos plays a crucial role: Only where chaos prevails do the well-known rules of thermodynamics follow from quantum physics.

The UK Is Enduring an Onslaught of Scarlet Fever. Is the US Next?

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

The US is more alert to the risks of strep infections, but the UK has better data. It’s not clear which makes more difference in controlling disease.

Scientists use machine learning to get an unprecedented view of small molecules

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, health, robotics/AI

A new machine learning model will help scientists identify small molecules, with applications in medicine, drug discovery and environmental chemistry. Developed by researchers at Aalto University and the University of Luxembourg, the model was trained with data from dozens of laboratories to become one of the most accurate tools for identifying small molecules.

Thousands of different small molecules, known as , transport energy and transmit cellular information throughout the human body. Because they are so small, metabolites are difficult to distinguish from each other in a blood sample analysis—but identifying these molecules is important to understand how exercise, nutrition, and metabolic disorders affect well-being.

Metabolites are normally identified by analyzing their mass and retention time with a separation technique called liquid chromatography followed by mass spectrometry. This technique first separates metabolites by running the sample through a column, which results in different flow rates—or retention times—through the measurement device.

The beautiful intersection of simulation and AI

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.

Simulation can help engineers overcome these challenges. Rather than tweaking the AI model’s architecture and parameters, it has been shown that time spent improving the training data can often yield more extensive improvements in accuracy.

How a common cold develops

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

Winter and rainy season is worst for those who have low immunity. Antibiotics have many side effects. But there high fever due to viral infection is also risky.


A cold is an infection caused by a virus. It’s a common and usually mild illness that affects the nose and throat. Find out more here: http://bit.ly/KV8y1c.

Project Liftoff: The Future Of Robot Combat is AI. This Is Havoc Episode 4

Posted by in categories: innovation, robotics/AI

Father son duo Jim and Andrew Kazmer build and drive one of the most exciting and best supported robots at NHRL in Project Liftoff.

They’ve further developed this into a second bot in Flip n Cut with a variation in weapon type and have pushed the limits of innovation with their fully autonomous combat robot DeepMelt.

Space Renaissance Christmas Special 2022

Posted by in categories: law, space, sustainability

The last event of 2022 will take place December 19th: Christmas Special meeting. with our president Prof. Bernard Foing!
We’ll have a look at what we have done in 2022, and we’ll announce the program of 2023.
The Zoom meeting will be open to all of the SRI Members and invited friends – just registered or going to register during the meeting.
All the participants will have the possibility to make questions to the SRI President, the Founder and the Board of Directors, about the 2023 program. Criticisms and proposals will be welcome too.
We have a huge programme for 2023, and we are going through some key steps, to achieve an higher legal status for our association: to be registered as a not for profit entity on the Unic National Register of the Third Sector Entities (RUNTS). Such an achievement will allow SRI to call Italian taxpayers to target the 5×1000 of their yearly tax to SRI, and the donations to be deducted from the tax declaration. These conditions, when achieved, will greatly contribute to the sustainability of our initiatives.
We are asking each of the SRI members and supporters to assume this priority for December 2022: to bring onboard many new members and to seek for donors and sponsors!
We will celebrate together during the Xmas Special event and exchange season greetings and wishes for a vibrant year 2023 for Space Renaissance International!
