Published in @Nature: our AI system for material design ‘GNoME’ that found 380,000 new materials (which we’ve made freely available to the research community) with potential to accelerate greener tech from better batteries to more efficient superconductors https://t.co/0kGJmruKwY

“The company skipped the very crucial step of sending five lower-class people to the bottom of the ocean to make sure it was safe enough for the wealthy,” said Otto Scofield, a member of the Marine Technology Society. https://t.co/9R0nIy0MpM

Children stitch “Made in America” tags into shirts for J. Crew. They bake dinner rolls sold at Walmart and Target, process milk used in Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and help debone chicken sold at Whole Foods.

This is what you’ve waited for.

Journey with us through Webb’s breathtaking view of the Pillars of Creation, where scores of newly formed stars glisten like dewdrops among floating, translucent columns of gas and dust: https://t.co/5ea1kCzU5x

Here’s your guided tour ⬇️

My Magnum Opus. Funny to see it out there in the world after spending so much time seeing it only in my head.

Very proud of this work and very grateful to @NeuroPolarbear and @_janzimmermann_ for empowering me to pursue this work and for helping me tie off my PhD this way!

If you're a professor or a student in STEM in a Western country, you probably know someone from the Sharif University of Technology in Iran. They might have be your students, peers, or friends.

That university is now under attack by the Islamic Republic.

Webb got its first look at @NASAMars! 👀

The close-up on the left reveals surface features such as Huygens Crater, dark volcanic Syrtis Major, and Hellas Basin, while the “heat map" on the right shows light being given off by Mars as it loses heat. More: https://t.co/7dVIr9g6NB

Predictive coding: predictions make the brain energy-efficient. We argue that’s not always true! To know more, check out our paper accepted at #NeurIPS2022. Big thanks to my PI @xaqlab. https://t.co/rn13b5XG0p

Feast your eyes on the beautiful spiral structure of the Phantom Galaxy, M74, as seen by Webb in the mid-infrared. Delicate filaments of dust and gas wind outwards from the center of the galaxy, which has a ring of star formation around its nucleus. https://t.co/pPVvxsC6KA
