DeepMind’s AI for protein structure is coming to the masses It’s protein-structure prediction for the people. Software that accurately determines the 3D shape of proteins is set to become widely available to scientists. On 15 July, the London-based company DeepMind released an open-source version of its deep-learning neural network AlphaFold 2 and described its approach...

COMPUTACIÓN CUÁNTICA
Cybersecurity researchers and analysts are rightly worried that a new type of computer, based on quantum physics rather than more standard electronics, could break most modern cryptography. The effect would be to render communications as insecure as if they weren’t encoded at all. Fortunately, the threat so far is hypothetical. The quantum computers that exist...
BOSÓN DE HIGGS
Measurements of the strength of interactions between the Higgs boson and other particles test the current model of particle physics. A key part of this model has been confirmed by observing the most common decay of the Higgs boson. In 2012, the famous Higgs boson was discovered by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in proton–proton...
