DeepMind’s AI has found more new materials in a year than scientists have in centuries

Artificial Intelligence, Corporates and innovation, Deep tech, Startups and technology /

Google DeepMind researchers have trained a deep learning model to predict the structure of over 2.2 million crystalline materials — 45 times more than the number discovered in the entire history of science. Of the two million-plus new materials, some 381,000 are thought to be stable, meaning they wouldn’t decompose — an essential characteristic for

Can you ‘deGoogle’ a phone? Murena tried — and added a kill switch

Corporates and innovation, Data and security, Government and policy, Next Featured, Startups and technology /

My ancient Samsung Galaxy is ready for retirement. Cracks expand across the screen, photos are hazy blurs, and the battery barely survives a day. It’s time to buy a replacement. The initial contenders for my cash were the usual mix: Androids and iPhones with old names, incremental upgrades, and eye-watering price tags. While mulling over

Vegan ribs with edible bones: This could be the future of BBQ

Corporates and innovation, Ecosystems, Next Featured, Startups and technology /

Hailing from South Africa, I like to think of myself as a bit of a barbecue virtuoso. Come rain or shine, most weekends I’ll be out in my backyard, tongs in hand, manning the grill like a meat-addicted maniac (guilty as charged).  So when someone suggested I try the world’s first plant-based ribs, adorned with

European VC ecosystem heavily biased against female founders

Ecosystems, Investors and funding, Startups and technology /

Among the barriers European tech has to overcome, gender diversity is undoubtedly a pressing one. The numbers are telling. So far in 2023, female-founded startups have raised less than 2% of the total VC capital in Europe. A new study by global early-stage VC firm Antler shows that, unsurprisingly, female founders have to routinely deal

Dutch biotech startup bags €22M for proprietary generative AI model

Artificial Intelligence, Deep tech, Europe, Next Featured, Startups and technology /

It has been nearly a year since OpenAI unleashed ChatGPT on the world, and it seems as if no one (at least in tech) has stopped talking about generative AI since. Meanwhile, the applications of GenAI go way beyond chatbots and copyright-grey-area image ‘artistry’.  For instance, Cradle, a biotech software startup out of Delft, Netherlands,

‘Wave devouring’ tech inspired by whales could propel ships towards net zero

Startups and technology, Sustainability /

Scientists from Cranfield University in the UK are developing a kind of underwater wing for ships that could help decarbonise a sector responsible for more emissions than air travel. Known as wave devouring propulsion technology, it is essentially a flapping foil system installed at the bottom of a ship’s hull that helps propel it along.

Corporates and innovation, Ecosystems, Investors and funding, Startups and technology /

Sandwiched between Germany, France, and Belgium, the tiny country of Luxembourg is one of Europe’s smallest, but also its wealthiest — its residents enjoy the second-highest per capita income in the world. Key to this success is its thriving financial services sector which has helped draw several big names to the Grand Duchy, including the
