Verse 17 - Drug Development get 1000x faster
Hello there! Well… as many places in the world are suffering from excessive heat, we’re sitting here pretty “chill” at our desks ….. wherever that may be.
Among items of note in this issue of Verse, An AI model more accurate and 1,000 times faster in identifying molecules for new drug development, a photonic quantum computer that took just 36 microseconds to complete a calculation, 'Flying' ferries! And the end to binge eating - scientists discover mechanism in the brain linked to controlling food intake. Will holiday dinners ever be the same?
As always please keep sharing using the buttons below👇. We’d also love to hear from you, so please drop us a line via the feedback button. Thanks again for reading.
