Theoretical astrophysicist receives $500,000+, no strings attached
University of California, Berkeley, theoretical astrophysicist Eliot Quataert received an email out of the blue a few weeks ago offering him $100,000 a year for five to 10 years to pursue whatever research he wants. After checking whether the email was a spoof, he accepted. Offers from the Simons Foundation went out to 21 mathematicians, theoretical physicists and theoretical computer scientists across the country, and the first group of Simons Investigators was announced today (Tuesday, July 24) in a paid ad in The New York Times.

Hawking launches supercomputer
The new COSMOS@DiRAC supercomputer will advance our understanding of the origin and structure of our universe. Cosmology is now a precision science, so we need machines like COSMOS to reach out and touch the real universe, to investigate whether our mathematical models are correct." —Professor Stephen Hawking Professor Stephen Hawking has launched the most powerful shared-memory supercomputer in Europe.

’Hallucinating’ robots arrange rooms to suit human needs
If you hire a robot to help you move into your new apartment, you won't have to send out for pizza. But you will have to give the robot a system for figuring out where things go. The best approach, according to Cornell researchers, is to ask "How will humans use this?" Researchers in the Personal Robotics Lab of Ashutosh Saxena, assistant professor of computer science, have already taught robots to identify common objects, pick them up and place them stably in appropriate locations.
