A collaboration involving @FlatironInst quantum physicists has identified one possible barrier to superconductivity in materials called cuprates. Removing it could unlock higher-temperature superconductivity: bit.ly/4yub37O #science #physics #FlatironCCQ

Quantum Tug-of-War Limits Higher-Temperature Superconductivity

New work helps show why the dream of high-temperature superconductivity has been so hard to realize: a quantum brawl between superconductivity and a competing state of matter.

A nice surprise last week: our detection of the rotational kinematic SZ effect (led by @PhysicsColumbia PhD student Sam Goldstein) was selected for the @PhysRevLett cover: journals.aps.org/prl/covers/… Great work Sam! And looking forward to similar measurements soon with @SimonsObs

"The progress of AI in biology and biomedicine is enormous. But it’s also critical for us to understand how challenging this field is. We really need these purpose-built AI models that can identify and decode the unknown." Professor Olga Troyanskaya recently spoke at @SimonsFdn's 2026 Simons Science Summit about how her lab uses AI to untangle the mysteries of the genome: bit.ly/4h2G9N7
The words: "A team led by computer scientist and genomics researcher Olga Troyanskaya is using AI to explore the interaction of genetics, environment, nutrition, and biology during pregnancy." Features a photo of Olga.

How do we make quasi-Newton optimization methods practical for modern deep learning? New preprint with @jooko303 @tanyaisanumber @gowerrobert on SoftServe -- a quasi-Newton method that designed for non-convex objectives, while also scaling to very large neural networks.
