Deployment of @NASA’s SPHEREx Observatory complete, beginning the telescope’s two-year mission to collect data on more than 450 million galaxies and 100+ million stars in the Milky Way

She solved the sphere-packing problem in 8 dimensions.
What’s the densest way to pack identical spheres? In 8D, the E₈ lattice is optimal.
Her proof used modular forms with Fourier analysis. (Kepler’s 3D version took 400 years!)
Today, Sphere Semi is announcing that our AI-designed chip is deploying into military hardware in partnership with Northrop Grumman.
This is the first AI-designed semiconductor to move from concept to deployment in a defense system.
A new era has begun. Full video below.
