“@arenaphysica’s bet is that the same idea works as a foundation model rather than a one-off demo: faster inference, trained on roughly 10 million geometries plus decades of simulation data, with lab measurements added as a third data leg to help close the sim-to-reality gap.”
Thanks to the @hardwarefyi team for highlighting @m__frei’s CDFAM talk in this week’s newsletter. Read the full piece here: hardwarefyi.substack.com/p/rf-engineeri….

Photonics and RF is fundamentally the same problem. Electromagnetic wave propagation. For too long, we had to treat them separately because our tools were limited. AI is going to change that.

A Lens Is a Physical Fourier Computer A lens does not only bend light. It computes with the wave. Send several Gaussian beams into the lens, and the field after the glass is no longer just focused. The lens adds a quadratic phase, lets the wave propagate, and converts angle into position at the focal plane. That detector plane is the Fourier plane.

Today, we're dropping Episode 1 of The New Feynman Lectures with Shaun Donovan @anduriltech .
The New Feynman Lectures by @arenaphysica brings the greatest minds behind some of the most ambitious hardware companies to the chalkboard, to teach something tangible and novel to you.
And there's no one better to kick off this series than Shaun - he's the ultimate engineer's engineer. He leads EE and MechE for one of the best and fastest moving tech teams on the planet, and we go deep down the rabbit hole in this episode.
One of the biggest challenges with a fully autonomous vehicle is how do you make a decision? You want redundancy – so you need multiple onboard computers and sensors… so when they disagree, how do you know which one is right? Shaun is at the blackboard, chalk in hand, to show you.

The first episode of The New Feynman Lectures, Season 1 is live! In Episode 1, @PratapRanade sits down with Shaun Donovan, Head of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering @anduriltech to talk all things triplex redundancies in autonomous aircraft. Shaun is a wealth of knowledge with incredible stories and lessons learned through his years of experience building the most ambitious UAVs, nuclear reactors, and more. You’ll commonly hear those who work with him, or have worked with him, refer to him as the smartest person they know, and the best engineer they know. He’s built a world-class engineering culture and team @anduriltech that we @arenaphysica are privileged to work with and support. I learn something new every time I’m with Shaun. Watch Episode 1, and I’m sure you will too. youtube.com/watch?v=_AIoes…

“The reason a lot of people trade is because it’s fun. People actually enjoy the manual process of trading... I don't think the world of finance 50 years from now will just be some guy that prompts slightly better than the next, and therefore he makes more money.”

Azura is building an onchain trading platform that feels like a traditional brokerage, without wallets, gas, or bridges.

Today, the DOE accepted our Documented Safety Analysis (DSA) for the Ward250 Reactor.
The DSA is our final design approval, demonstrating that we have satisfied the DOE’s rigorous safety standards in engineering and construction.
Next, Readiness Review and power before July 4.

So proud of my team, and grateful for the leadership of the DOE and POTUS.
This is not a normal DSA. Power is a different level—the volume and complexity of systems required when you have burnup is a massive step up. The Valar team is showing that they are up to the challenge.

Biopharma spends $250B/year on R&D. The biggest bottleneck between discovery and the clinic is protein characterization.
@10x_Science is the team fixing it:
David built next-gen protein characterization out of a Nobel Prize-winning lab at Stanford
Andrew came out of MIT's Broad Institute building the exact tools pharma uses today
Vishnu went to college at 11 and drives their product velocity
Pharma scientists have read David & Andrew's papers for a decade. They know who they are before they sit down. That kind of credibility can't be manufactured.
And unlike the AI drug prediction bets that didn't deliver, 10x is SaaS used at every stage of the drug lifecycle.

We’re actively building the first power grid in space, for space. Over the past year, we’ve demonstrated our full end-to-end optical power beaming system in a series of ground and space tests. This year we’re focused on bringing the architecture to orbit 🛰️⚡️

Every other industry doubled productivity in the last 50 years. Construction lost 30%. @fredfilz and Mohamed Sadek, founders of Crewline, are automating the machines. Great piece by @FastCompany on how.
We're excited to have led their $7.1M seed.
They're hiring builders: crewline.ai/join-us.

Construction is facing labor shortages and productivity stagnation. The startup Crewline wants to solve those problems with autonomous machinery. f-st.co/9N24XpW

Every car you’ve driven, plane you’ve been on, table you’ve eaten at, toilet you’ve sat on, piece of clothing you’ve worn or snack you bought at a grocery store passed through a factory like this.
Saman Farid@samanfarid
Another factory brought into the future. So incredibly meaningful to see and personally use so may of the products our robots make. Almost everything you see / eat / use / touch / bought in the last year passed through a factory that looked not too different from this.

For Physics AI, the geometry —> field relationship is the primitive. Not sentence —> sentence.
Next token prediction and scaling laws apply, but the tokens aren’t words.
The prize isn’t writing a better email. It’s fabricating a metamaterial
Massimo@Rainmaker1973
Metamaterials, or materials whose function is determined by structure, not composition, have been designed to bend light and sound, transform from soft to stiff, and even dampen seismic waves from earthquakes. This is what Harvard SEAS designed.
