Exactly my first thought as well. ▶ this video We're living in the 80s version of the future. We have Star Trek today.

>> If we have the ability to computationally determine these things without any experimental data needed, and we know we're looking for a specific band structure, wouldn't we just do an automated search of possible chemistries to find everything producing said band structure? Isn't this a plot point in that one Star Trek movie (episode?) where they go back in time and program a current-day computer to do this? edit: OK, I misremembered. Was thinking of this: ▶ this video

Disclaimer: I work for an Alphabet company (but not Google itself any more). I was a die-hard iPhone supporter since I got my 3G, but switched to Android when I started at Google back in June. One of the things I like best about Android is the search bar on the home screen - I use it constantly. Half the time what I'm looking for isn't a web page per se (directions, apps, email, etc), and having search integrated into the home screen is extremely convenient. The one thing I really do miss is being able to hold down the home button to activate Siri. Saying "OK, Google" is only successful for me about 50% of the time (and I have a very standard American accent) - when it doesn't work I feel like Scotty in Star Trek IV: The One with the Whales: ▶ this video
