• Resumen

  • Called KnIT, the supercomputer computer is one of a handful of systems pushing back the frontiers of knowledge without human help. KnIT scanned for information on a protein called p53, and a class of enzymes that can interact with it, called kinases. Aa collaboration between IBM and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, it is the latest step into a weird world where autonomous machines make discoveries that are beyond scientists, simply by rifling more thoroughly through what humans already know, and faster than any human can.
