October 30, 2025 by Mintu

In October 2025, Google Quantum AI made history with an achievement that many scientists had been working toward for decades — a verified demonstration of quantum advantage on actual quantum hardware. Their breakthrough, the Quantum Echoes algorithm, running on the Willow quantum chip, marks the first time in history that a quantum computer has successfully performed a verifiable computation faster than any classical supercomputer could achieve. This milestone, published in Nature, isn’t just another lab success. It signifies a major step toward real-world applications of quantum computing — from molecular modeling and materials discovery to the potential transformation of medicine, … Read more

Will AI Revolutionize Drug Development? Experts Explore Its Potential

January 18, 2025 by Mintu

The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize drug discovery and development has sparked widespread excitement and skepticism. While AI-driven platforms such as AlphaFold, which won the 2024 Nobel Prize for predicting protein structures, have showcased AI’s potential, the real-world impact on drug development remains uncertain. Can AI truly be a game-changer in addressing the 90% failure rate of new drugs in clinical trials, or is its role overstated? AI in Drug Development: Transforming the Process Researchers are leveraging AI at every stage of drug development, from identifying targets within the body to screening potential candidates, predicting toxicity, and optimizing … Read more
