Quantum modeling for breakthroughs in materials science and sustainable energy
Ernest Opoku knew he wanted to become a scientist when he was a little boy. But his school in Dadease, a small town in Ghana, offered no elective science courses — so Opoku created one for himself. Even though they had neither a dedicated science classroom nor a lab, Opoku convinced his principal to bring in someone to teach him and five other friends he had convinced to join him. With just a chalkboard and some imagination, they […]

Using generative AI to diversify virtual training grounds for robots
Chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude have experienced a meteoric rise in usage over the past three years because they can help you with a wide range of tasks. Whether you’re writing Shakespearean sonnets, debugging code, or need an answer to an obscure trivia question, artificial intelligence systems seem to have you covered. The source of this versatility? Billions, or even trillions, of textual data points across the internet. Those data aren’t enough to teach a robot to be […]

Rare Earths Are Rare in the US Only Because We Choose To Export Environmental Challenges
As has been said by many commentators, rare earths are not particularly rare. Via source, here is an estimate of their abundance in the Earth’s surface: Note by the way the Y-axis is logarithmic so small changes in vertical position can mean a factor of 10 or more difference in concentration. But the rare earths are not unreasonably far off fairly common industrial metals like lead, nickel, copper, and molybdenum and well more common than gold, silver, and […]
