[6.6] Scientists set new record in nuclear fusion with 'artificial sun' in China — manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Chinese scientists have achieved a significant milestone in nuclear fusion by running their "artificial Sun" reactor for 1,066 seconds at 100 million Celsius. This surpasses the previous record of 403 seconds set in 2023.
The reactor, developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, mimics the Sun's fusion process using hydrogen and deuterium gases. This method aims to produce clean energy without emissions or hazardous waste.
[6.2] US government and tech giants launch $500 billion AI infrastructure project — techrepublic.com
The U.S. government and tech companies, including OpenAI and Oracle, have launched The Stargate Project, a $500 billion initiative to enhance generative AI infrastructure over four years. This project aims to build data centers and secure U.S. leadership in AI.
OpenAI will initially invest $100 billion, with the remaining funds to be allocated over time. Construction has begun on a data center in Abilene, Texas, and Oracle has reported that ten data centers are already built or underway.
The initiative will streamline the establishment of more data centers and may include measures for generating electricity. The collaboration involves major players like SoftBank, Microsoft, and NVIDIA, focusing on creating a robust ecosystem for AI development.
[6.1] AI-designed drugs from Google-backed Isomorphic Labs set for clinical trials by 2026 — qz.com
Drugs developed by Alphabet's Isomorphic Labs, using artificial intelligence, are expected to enter clinical trials by the end of 2026. This announcement was made by DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Isomorphic Labs, spun off from DeepMind in 2021, is collaborating with Eli Lilly and Novartis to discover new therapeutics. The focus areas include oncology, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegeneration.
Other companies, like Insilico Medicine, have also made progress in AI-designed drugs. Insilico's drug for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis entered trials in 2023, showing positive results.
[6.0] New AI method shows promise for early breast cancer detection — dw.com
Scientists have created a new AI method for detecting breast cancer at very early stages, achieving 90-100% accuracy in identifying stage 1A cancers. This method uses blood samples and Raman spectroscopy to find molecular fingerprints indicating cancer.
Currently, the method has only been tested on 24 patients, and larger trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness before it can be used in hospitals. Traditional detection methods often miss early-stage cancers, making this new approach significant.
