Transformation
Labs are resetting the trajectory for drug development: reducing timelines from years to months; decreasing costs from billions to millions; and gaining an advantage by delivering drugs to market in months rather than decades. This value combination is a compelling case for investment in digital capability and organizational transformation. A 100x or 1000x advance in…
Read MoreIntroduction If you have used TensorFlow before, you know how easy it is to create a simple neural network model using the Keras API. Just create an instance of the Sequential model class, add the number of desired layers and accompanying layer nodes, define the activation functions to be used by each layer, and compile…
Read MoreIn our recent C&EN Webinar: Accelerating Consumer Products Reformulation with Machine Learning, we demonstrated how to leverage digital tools and technology to bring new products to market faster. The webinar was well attended by scientists, engineers, and business leaders across the product development spectrum eager to learn how these concepts can be applied to their…
Read MoreDigital skills personas for success in digital transformation The digital skills mix varies widely across companies, from those just starting to invest in digital transformation initiatives, to ones well into their journey. Building a community of people who think digitally and are able to innovate and quickly prototype ideas is key to delivering results. Author:…
Read MoreScaling innovations in R&D can be considered challenging in two dimensions: from lab to lab; and from the lab to the end customer. A 100x or 1000x advance in R&D efficiency challenges an organization to adapt, from R&D to engineering, manufacturing, and to the marketplace, where there is a significant business opportunity. Incremental Advances…
Read MoreDigital transformation is an established trend and the current catchphrase in corporations everywhere. But, while many realize the imperative to change, it’s not always clear precisely what that entails, where to start, how best to implement, and what benefits to expect. The frequent strategy of digitalization, or the layering of digital tools and technology onto…
Read MoreThe ultimate project goal of EnergizAIR Infrastructure was to raise individual awareness of the contribution of renewable energy sources, and ultimately change behaviors. Now ten years later, with orders of magnitude more data, AI/machine learning, cloud, and smartphones in the hands of individuals, this is an idea whose time has come. Author: Didrik Pinte, M.S.,…
Read MoreThe process of materials discovery is complex and iterative, requiring a level of expertise to be done effectively. Materials workflows that require human judgement present a specific challenge to the discovery process, which can be leveraged as an opportunity to introduce digital technologies. In the lab, many tasks require manual data collection and judgment. And…
Read MoreA microseismic event loaded from the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data into a Jupyter notebook showing energy from a microseismic event arriving at about 7.5 seconds. These microseisms bring information about the process of stimulation. However, in the data set there are relatively few and they are…
Read MoreKey points are presented from the first of a series of LinkedIn articles where JSR Board Chairman Mitsunobu Koshiba provides thought provoking insights on business strategy in the context of trends in three time horizons. The short term is dominated by an increased acceptance of Modern Monetary Theory. The mid-term is a shift in the…
