Asteroids, Universal Blood, and BASIC
In today's episode of "10 Minutes with Sami," we explore three fascinating news items that mark significant milestones in the world of science and technology. We start by discussing the impressive discovery of more than 27,000 asteroids, thanks to a collaboration between the Asteroid Institute, the University of Washington, and Google Cloud, using an innovative artificial intelligence algorithm called THOR. This finding not only enhances our ability to detect asteroids but also highlights the potential of AI to transform astronomical research.
Next, we discuss a groundbreaking advancement in transfusion medicine: the development of universal donor blood. Researchers have discovered enzymes capable of converting blood types A, B, and AB into type O, the universal donor. This achievement promises to simplify blood transfusion practices and significantly expand the supply of compatible blood for all patients, regardless of their blood type. Lastly, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the programming language BASIC, which, since its creation in 1964 at Dartmouth College, has played a fundamental role in democratizing computing and has influenced the development of numerous programming languages over the decades.
