Scientists in China have unveiled a supercomputer built on brain-like architecture — specifically, that of a monkey. Called Darwin Monkey or “Wukong”, the system features over 2 billion artificial neurons and more than 100 billion synapses, putting it roughly on par with the neural structure of a macaque. The researchers hope it will serve as a simulation tool for neuroscientists …

Researchers developing vaccines to treat cancer have been granted access to one of the UK’s most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputers. The team at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Medicine will be allowed to use the device, know as Dawn, for 10,000 hours as part of a government scheme. They will be analysing tens of thousands of data …

The Milky Way may be surrounded by dozens of yet-to-be-detected satellite galaxies, scientists claim. Using the highest-resolution simulation of our galaxy’s dark matter — an invisible entity that shapes the large-scale structure of the universe — and new mathematical models, cosmologists predict that more than 100 additional satellite galaxies beyond the ones already cataloged may be swirling around our own. …
