Researchers at Kyushu University, in collaboration with Osaka University and the Fine Ceramics Center, have developed a framework that uses machine learning to speed up the discovery of materials .
There is a growing need for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries as a transition to "greener" energy sources. Nonetheless, most of their cathodes are made of cobalt, a metal whose extraction has significant negative social and environmental effects.
Researchers at Kyushu University have created a framework that leverages machine learning to expedite the identification of materials for green energy technologies in partnership with Osaka University and the Fine Ceramics Center.
The Office for Research & Innovation has awarded funding to eight, interdisciplinary projects as part of the inaugural Duke Science and Technology (DST) Launch Seed Grant Program. This year’s winners
The Disordered Mind Theory of Mental Illness
In a series of articles and books over the past decade, the philosopher George Graham develops a theory of mental disorder with the following qualities: 1. is non-reductionist with respect to the mind and the brain; 2. is informed by the philosophy of mind; and 3. coheres with the experiences of patients and clinicians. Grahamâs theory holds that mental illness is distinct from somatic/bodily illness though may co-occur or otherwise be bound up with so-called broken brains. A helpful analogy for what is meant here by âthe mentalâ or âthe mindâ is to view the brain as computer hardware, whereas the mind is software. On this picture, the mind and the brain are surely not independent; a hardware issue may impede the computation of some software. However, one may have bugs in oneâs software - âgumming up the worksâ to use a common phrase of Graham - on perfectly functioning hardware.
