Researchers have developed a programmable optical device for high-speed beam steering.

A new method uses optics to accelerate machine-learning computations on smart speakers and other low-power connected devices.

The technique opens a door to manufacturing of pressure-monitoring bandages, shade-shifting fabrics, or touch-sensing robots.

A new technique could improve the precision of atomic clocks and of quantum sensors for detecting dark matter or gravitational waves.

The new design is stackable and reconfigurable, for swapping out and building on existing sensors and neural network processors.

The discovery could help researchers engineer exotic electrical states such as unconventional superconductivity.

Improvements in the material that converts X-rays into light, for medical or industrial images, could allow a tenfold signal enhancement.

National Science Foundation award will allow the VELION FIB-SEM to become a permanent instrument in MIT.nano’s characterization facility.

SMART breakthrough could help develop technologies that can identify materials according to desired properties for specific applications.

The discovery could offer a route to smaller, faster electronic devices.
