Working on Challenge 04. This is the T0 benchmark quench, solved exactly. Brightness = chance of finding each electron on a site, teal rings = doubly occupied sites, arrows = electron flow. Weak vs strong repulsion. Setup from arXiv:2606.10773. Write-up below
Literally was looking to see if Grand Challenges exist in material science just a couple days ago. Great initiative!
Today, we announce five Grand Challenges in Material Science. We’re also committing $1M in prize money to anyone who can solve these challenges.
AI can solve Millennium Prize problems in math. Can it do the same in material science?
To find out, we reached out to 10 leading professors to identify the hardest open problems in the field.

The whole "merging with the machine" conversation would be a lot more productive if people spent more time thinking about different frameworks for a mind and different substrates beyond a classical computer. A lot of these substrates avoid the mind copy and paste paradoxes.

USELESS is a stage 4 Simulacrum according to Grok 🤯
"USELESS coin, a Solana-based meme token designed to mock utility-focused cryptocurrencies, which aligns with the philosophical concept of a simulacrum—where value becomes detached from reality—potentially placing it at Stage Four of Jean Baudrillard’s simulacrum theory, as it exists purely as a speculative, self-referential entity with no inherent utility."

Visiting my girl's workplace is always a trip. She teaches biomaterials in art practice. One of the strongest influences in me wanting to be a flower designer.
Old science literature hits hard. This is an expert from Burr's 1935 paper, "The Electro-Dynamic Theory of Life"

Had the pleasure of visiting the @QuantumBioOrg last week. To see the efforts of DeSci translating into physical lab space felt so validating
@QuantumBioDAO is building something special in LA 🌞 – at Los Angeles, CA
The Quantum Biology Institute’s Head of Biochemistry has been getting things in place at the LA lab, and he’s here to show off the current state of the biology setup.
This is DeSci in action. More updates to come!

World class science shouldn't be rate limited by an archaic grant system
The fact Levin's lab can't hire a full-time marketing person is evidence that the current system is broken
DeSci is the way

What is the bioelectric pattern of immortality and mortality in hydra? Happy to share our latest work with Angelina Pimkina, @DrPTMcMillen, @parandetayyebi, @DrPatrickE, @drmichaellevin in the journal Bioelectricity! liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/b…

NEW: No technology currently exists to repair damaged brain tissue and fully restore lost function. FRONT aims to enable millions with what is considered permanent brain damage to regain lost functions, including motor control, vision, and speech. arpa-h.gov/news-and-events/a…

Paying nerds to mess around with lasers in a basement studying magnetic fields is how we got MRI. They had no idea of impact of possible applications at the time of the research.
MRI is one of the most lifesaving technologies and universally valuable.
