Newton's Laws of Graduation, Part 3 - The Third Law

There's good news and bad news about the long-term rate of CO2 growth. The good news is that CO2 is definitely not rising at an all-time record rate. That record curently belongs to February, 2019. The bad news is that CO2 is still rising at nearly a record rate.

HOW TO WEIGH A SINGLE E. COLI An E. coli cell weighs less than picogram. A grain of sand weighs about 60 million times more than that. A bacterium is so tiny that a few hundred thousand of them would fit comfortably on the head of a pin. But how do researchers know this? How

Journals can’t find peer reviewers. Preprints aren’t taken seriously. Garbage papers slip through peer review. Meantime, AI is slowly taking over. Nature describes the current situation. I highly recommend reading the article. 📍 The summary (+ my comments): 1. We are facing a

Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: forfeit the clean energy race to China, and you’re forfeiting the AI race too. If they own both, there’s just one superpower — and it ain’t us.

A genome is not a one-dimensional object. It is dynamic and quickly-changing, not only in TIME but also in SPACE. A new paper, published in Nature, reports the 3D structure of the E. coli genome. The whole thing was mapped with a resolution of 10 base pairs; enough to clearly

The rapid rise of AI & its huge demand for electricity makes headlines. But it's not the full story. Other sectors like industry, EVs & AC will drive even more demand by 2030. The real question is whether AI's potential efficiency gains can offset some its own energy footprint.
