"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won’t work." - Thomas Edison But what if Edison could have illuminated the world with just 200 trials instead of 10,000, and created an even better light bulb? ?? The rise of AI techniques is accelerating advancements across industries and scientific research. This convergence of AI and scientific research is poised to revolutionize our world. Over the weekend, Micron Ventures proudly sponsored AGI House Global's inaugural "AI in Physics" Hackathon, where industry luminaries like Stephen Wolfram joined us to explore AI-driven pathways that enhance our understanding of physics, the universe, industrial opportunities, and ourselves. Special thanks to: ?? Stephen Wolfram, James Wiles, and Dugan Hammock from the Wolfram Institute for your insightful conversation ?? Vasu Kalidindi and Surya Kalidindi (Co-founders of Multiscale Technologies Inc, a Micron Ventures portfolio company) for sharing your journey in applying physics-informed AI in industrial use cases ?? Ameya Velingker (Research Scientist @ Google Research), Fred (Federico) Parietti (Co-founder & CEO @ Multiply Labs) and Richa S. (Quantum Physicist & Founder @ QEM Labs) for your exciting presentations and ideas. ?? Anthropic for co-sponsoring the event with us, and AGI House Global for inviting us to be a partner in this event A big shout-out to all hackathon participants for your full-day ideation and experimentation in shaping the future potential of AI in Physics! If you missed this one and are working on something cool in AI and Deep Tech, get in touch with us at Micron Ventures. We’re excited to hear about your aspirations and explore how we can help you change the world!

We are proud to announce that Normal Computing has just been selected as one of 12 projects for the UK’s ￡50M Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) Scaling Compute Programme, aimed at cutting AI hardware costs by up to 1000x and streamlining the semiconductor supply chain and pushing towards the fundamental limits of computational efficiency. The team, led by Normal Computing’s Chief Scientist Dr. Patrick Coles, will develop physics-based computing chips for matrix inversion and explore applications in training large-scale AI models to transform AI hardware efficiency. Our distinctive “thermodynamic computing” approach harnesses noise as a resource by allowing physical dynamics, like thermal equilibration, to do computations for us. “We are unique in that AI is helping to design and manufacture our AI chips...for our several commercial partners and now with ARIA” said?Faris Sbahi, CEO at Normal Computing. “If successful, this programme will unlock a new technological lever for next-generation AI hardware, alleviate dependence on leading-edge chip manufacturing, and open up new avenues to scale AI hardware,” said Suraj Bramhavar, ARIA’s Programme Director for Scaling Compute.
