University of Tennessee scientists using supercomputer may have found coronavirus cure

quote:

Two researchers the University of Tennessee in Knoxville have discovered a chemical compound that, if it passes more testing, could be the cure to stop coronavirus and prevent it from spreading.

According to WATE-TV in Knoxville, Tennessee, the two researchers have been working on the possible cure by using the "world's most powerful computer" through a partnership between the University of Tennessee and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

So they used the world's most powerful computer? I'm pretty sure that's cheating. Give me that machine and I can probably find the cure too.

I wonder if they are using some of deepminds progress in the AI field for this stuff. Or if it's just a brute force type thing.

Wish they would give more information about it.

A Vols fan (volsfan30 maybe) mentioned this a few days ago. Great to hear they think they're making progress. Hope the testing goes well

If a success I will nominate the two scientists and the computer for the Nobel prize.

Does anyone know the email address of Alfred Bernhard Nobel?

Won't surprise me they fire the guy with the cure, and hire an old retired coach they fired to take his place.
