Innovators Under 35 for the year 2021

The 35 Innovators Under 35 is our yearly opportunity to take a look at not just where technology is now, but where it’s going and who’s taking it there. More than 500 people are nominated every year, and from this group the editors pick the most promising 100 to move on to the semifinalist round. Their work is then evaluated by our panel of judges who have expertise in such areas as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, software, energy, and materials. With the insight gained from these rankings, the editors pick the final list of 35.

Book Summary: Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus

The book "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" is an enormously popular book by author John Gray. It  contains many suggestions for improving relationships between men and women through understanding the communication style and emotional needs of the opposite sex. As suggested by the title, the book asserts the notion that men and women are as different as beings from other planets, and that learning the code of conduct of the opposite sex is of essential value even if individuals do not necessarily conform to the stereotypical behaviour.

Artificial Intelligence in Drug Discovery: Applications and Techniques

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been transforming the practice of drug discovery in the past decade. Various AI techniques have been used in a wide range of applications, such as virtual screening and drug design. In this perspective, we first give an overview on drug discovery and discuss related applications, which can be reduced to two major tasks, i.e., molecular property prediction and molecule generation. We then discuss common data resources, molecule representations and benchmark platforms. Furthermore, to summarize the progress in AI-driven drug discovery, we present the relevant AI techniques including model architectures and learning paradigms in the surveyed papers. We expect that the perspective will serve as a guide for researchers who are interested in working at this intersected area of artificial intelligence and drug discovery. We also provide a GitHub repository\footnote{\url{https://github.com/dengjianyuan/Survey_AI_Drug_Discovery}} with the collection of papers and codes, if applicable, as a learning resource, which will be regularly updated.

The big idea: computer chips with quantum ‘fingerprints’

Crypto Quantique is coming up with a way to read the unique quantum ‘fingerprints’ of computer chips. If this takes off, it could change the way we approach cybersecurity.

Instead of layering on more protection to computer software, we could check the identities of the machines we deal with using a baked-in feature. This would make connected devices in factories, houses and cars enormously hard to hack.

15 Steve Jobs Quotes About Innovation

Steve Jobs was the sort of visionary that comes along just once in a lifetime. Since cofounding Apple Computer in 1976, he has changed nearly every facet of society, from how we communicate to how we enjoy music to how we create. But to hear him tell it, there is nothing extraordinary about his life’s work; he simply found something he loved doing and then did it every single day of his life.

These 15 quotes reveal Jobs’ perspective on what it takes to be successful in your own right. To call Jobs an ambitious man would be an understatement, but for him, being able to wake up every day and do the things he loved was undoubtedly the pinnacle of his success.
