VIII. Earth Earns: An Open CoCreative Earthropocene to Astropocene PediaVerse1. Mind Over Matter and Energy: Quantum, Atomic, Chemical, Astronomic Realms Rojo-Francàs, Abel, et al. Anomalous quantum transport in fractal lattices.. Communications Physics. vol. 7/art. 259, 2024. We cite this paper by Donostia International Physics Center, Spain, Universitat de Barcelona, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, and the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology physicists for its self-similar structural content and as one more example of seemingly unlimited Earthuman technical abilities to range across these subatomic material frontiers on an intended course to initiate a new second, ecosmic cocreation. Fractal lattices are self-similar structures with repeated patterns on different scales. Here, we study the dynamical properties of two fractal lattices, the Sierpiński gasket and the Sierpiński carpet. While the gasket exhibits sub-diffusive behavior, sub-ballistic transport occurs in the carpet, due to the systems’ spectral properties. As a technological application, we discuss a memory effect in the Sierpiński gasket which reads off the phase information of an initial state from the spatial distribution after long evolution times. (Excerpt) Rollo, Jennifer, et al. A Dynamical Systems Approach for Multiscale Synthesis of Alzheimer’s Pathogenesis.. Neuron. 111/14, 2023. University College London and University of Glasgow neurologists post and scope out, as the abstract says, to move beyond prior limitations, by new understandings of deep complexities that underlie and suffuse all manner of cerebral and actually cognitive deficits. This novel advance can reveal new insightful dimensions not possible before. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a spatially dynamic pathology that implicates a growing volume of multiscale data spanning genetic, cellular, tissue, and organ levels of the organization. These bioinformatic analyses provide clear evidence for the interactions within and between these levels. The resulting heterarchy precludes a linear neuron-centric approach and requires that they are measured so to predict their impact on the emergent dynamics of the disease. We propose a new methodology that uses non-linear dynamical systems modeling that links with a community-wide participatory platform to co-create and test system-level interventions. We argue that such an approach is essential to support the discovery of multilevel-coordinated polypharmaceutical interventions. (Abstract) Rose, Frisco, et al.. AFLUX: The LUX Materials Search API for the AFLOW Data Repositories. Computational Materials Science. 137/362, 2017. Duke University, University of North Texas, and Central Michigan University researchers including Stefano Curtarolo study database resources to serve this incipient advent a intentional creation of beneficial material forms. See also The AFLOW Library of Crystallographic Prototypes by this group in the same journal (136/Supp. 1, 2017). As one may peruse, we note how much this approach is broadly similar to genomic curations in journals such as Nucleic Acids Research and Database. Automated computational materials science frameworks rapidly generate large quantities of materials data for accelerated materials design. In order to take advantage of these large databases, users should have the ability to efficiently search and extract the desired data. Therefore, we have extended the data-oriented AFLOW-repository Application-Program-Interface (API) to enable programmatic access to search queries. A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)-based search API is proposed for the construction of complex queries for remote creation and retrieval of customized data sets. It is expected that the new language, AFLUX, from “Automatic Flow of LUX (light)”, will enable remote search operations on the AFLOW set of computational materials science data repositories. In addition, AFLUX facilitates the verification and validation of the data in the AFLOW repositories. (Abstract) Rosenthal, Elisabeth and Felicity Barringer. Green Promise Seen in Switch to LED Lighting. New York Times. May 30, 2009. Beyond all the hybrid hype, a truly siginificant energy-saving advance is the replacement of bulbs altogether by bright Light Emitting Diodes. With an indefinite life and twice as efficient as even compact bulbs, their full utilization would result in a 50% drop in carbon dioxide emissions. Mainly based on gallium nitride (GaN and InGaN) semiconductors, they represent a premier case of appropriate technology. And their further import could be as a harbinger of a dawning Light Age. Rutherford, Adam. Creation: How Science is Reinventing Life Itself. New York: Current Books, 2014. Akin to Michael Tennesen’s The Next Species, a British geneticist and journalist takes the widest view of cosmic evolution whereof humankind becomes a potential second singularity. This long passage occurs over two main parts. The Origin of Life is seen as Begotten, Not Created with earth’s rough course traced from nucleotides to a noosphere. The Future of Life then goes on, if we may so choose, as Created, Not Begotten. This awesome new Genesis creation, just bursting upon us, most of all involves reading and reprogramming nature’s genetic Digital DNA code. Sanchez-Lengeling, Benjamin and Alan Aspuru-Guzik. Inverse Molecular Design Using Machine Learning: Generative Models for Matter Engineering. Science. 361/348, 2018. In a Frontiers of Computation section, Harvard University and Toronto University systems chemists consider technical approaches to this intentional phase of cosmic material (re)creation. Indeed by way of our human collective acumen, we peoples are actually embarking upon a work of “reverse engineering” nature’s animate physical and chemical evolution by careful application of its universal algorithome principles.

Teleportation beyond Network Neighbors. Mature. 605/624, 2022. NIST, Maryland and Korea Institute of Science quantum researchers review a Qubit Teleportation Between Non-Neighboring Nodes in a Quantum Network paper by S. Hermans, et al in this issue (605/624) about a breakthrough which could facilitate a practical, efficient Quantum Internet (see Abstract below). See also a New York Times science report (May25) “Quantum Internet” Inches Closer With Advance in Data Teleportation. Future quantum internet applications will need an ability to share information across the network. Quantum teleportation methods promises a reliable transfer between distant nodes. But moving beyond directly connected nodes been hindered by the pre-shared remote entanglement, joint qubit readout and coherence times. Here we realize quantum teleportation between remote, non-neighbouring nodes enabled by key innovations in the qubit readout procedure, active memory qubit protection and a reduction of remote entanglement. Our work provides a prime building block for future quantum networks and teleportation-based multi-node protocols and applications. (Hermans excerpt) Sole, Ricard, et al. Population Dynamics of Synthetic Terraformation Motifs. Royal Society Open Science. Online July, 2018. Barcelona systems biologists and ecologists scope out this vital project which we ought to get on with to intentionally and respectfully re-create a sustainable biosphere so as to foster a human/Earth personsphere. Ecosystems are complex systems, currently experiencing several threats associated with global warming, intensive exploitation and human-driven habitat degradation. Because of a general presence of multiple stable states, including states involving population extinction, and due to the intrinsic nonlinearities associated with feedback loops, collapse in ecosystems could occur in a catastrophic manner. It has been recently suggested that a potential path to prevent or modify the outcome of these transitions would involve designing synthetic organisms and synthetic ecological interactions that could push these endangered systems out of the critical boundaries. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of the simplest mathematical models associated with four classes of ecological engineering designs, named Terraformation motifs (TMs).

DNA-Templated Photonic Arrays and Assemblies: Design Principles and Future Opportunities. Chemistry A European Journal. 17/29, 2011. An example today the literature as human collaborative abilities take over material nature to begin an intentional re-creation good for cosmos and children. University of Leicester (Su and Vanessa Bonnard) and University of Strathclyde (Glenn Burley) researchers here join nucleotide and photon so as to enter a new Age of Life and Light. Whatever fantastic ordained reality that we do not yet understand is being revealed and offered to us? Molecular photonics is a rapidly developing and multi-disciplinary field of research involving the construction of molecular assemblies comprising photoactive building blocks that are responsive to a light stimulus. A salient challenge in this field is the controlled assembly of these building blocks with nanoscale precision. DNA exhibits considerable promise as an architecture for the templated assembly of photoactive materials. In this Concept Article we describe the progress that has been made in the area of DNA photonics, in which DNA acts as a platform for the construction of optoelectronic assemblies, thin films and devices.
