[ad_1] Google DeepMind has used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the structure of more than 2 million new materials, a breakthrough it said could soon be used to improve real-world technologies.In a research paper published in science journal Nature on Wednesday, the Alphabet-owned AI firm said almost 400,000 of its hypothetical material designs could soon be produced in lab conditions. Potential applications for the research include the production of better-performing batteries, solar panels, and computer chips. The discovery and synthesis of new materials can be a costly and time-consuming process. For example, it took around two decades of research before lithium-ion batteries – today used to power everything from phones and laptops to electric vehicles – were made commercial...

[ad_1] UK government officials have held discussions with tech giants Nvidia Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Intel Corp. about procuring equipment for national artificial intelligence research, according to the Telegraph.The government has allocated £100 million ($127 million) for AI chips, the Telegraph reported on Sunday. It said efforts may be in “advanced stages” of an order of as much as 5,000 graphics processing units from Nvidia. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has vowed to make the UK a global science and technology “superpower” by 2030. The premier is targeting a summit later this year that aims to bring together world leaders and top AI executives in an event supported by US President Joe Biden. A $5.4 billion international chip deal with Intel is off after greenlight from C...
