Geordie Rose, CTO of Dwave Systems answered some of my questions in the comments of his blog. 1. Is the 128 qubit system being sold as a service or product yet ? We are talking with some folks about hosting 128 qubit systems so the answer to #1 is “yes”. 2. Is that happening by …

NY Times: “In five or six or seven years,” said Christoph Westphal, Sirtris co-founder [Sirtis was bought by GlaxoSmithKline for $720 million], “there will be drugs that prolong longevity.” [H/T Michael Annisimov, Accelerating Future] SRT-501, the company’s special formulation of resveratrol, is being tested against two cancers, multiple myeloma and colon cancer that has spread …

Muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion.(1) A beam of negatively charged muons is produced and injected into a mixed fuel of deuterium and tritium, (2) resulting in the creation of many muonic tritium atoms (tµ). As muons are 207 times heavier than electrons, the muon orbits the nucleus at a much closer distance to the nucleus than electrons. …

1. India could have 470 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2050 if it thinks big and manages its program correctly, said the country’s prime minister, Manmohan Singh. Singh’s prediction of a future Indian reactor fleet bigger than the current global total came at the opening of the International Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy …

University of Toronto researchers, Shana Kelley and Ted Sargent, have made a cancer diagnostic breakthrough. Kelley said a five-year time frame would be a “conservative estimate” to get the device on the market. U of T researchers have used nanomaterials to develop an inexpensive microchip sensitive enough to quickly determine the type and severity of …
