“Study is first demonstration of a fully 3D-printed thruster using pure ion emission for propulsion. A 3D-printed thruster that emits a stream of pure ions could be a low-cost, extremely efficient propulsion source for miniature satellites. The nanosatellite thruster created …
“Electrical engineer William Oliver develops technology to enable reliable quantum computing at scale. It was music that sparked William Oliver’s lifelong passion for computers. Growing up in the Finger Lakes region of New York, he was an avid keyboard …
“Proposed design could reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 95 percent, a new study finds. At cruising altitude, airplanes emit a steady stream of nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, where the chemicals can linger to produce ozone and fine particulates. Nitrogen …
“When we experience a new event, our brain records a memory of not only what happened, but also the context, including the time and location of the event. A new study from MIT neuroscientists sheds light on how the timing …
“Sensor developed by SMART researchers would allow rapid diagnosis of nutrition deficiency in plants, enabling farmers to maximize crop yield in a sustainable way. Researchers at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) and Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory …
“The findings may help researchers design “spintronic” devices and novel magnetic materials. A new study illuminates surprising choreography among spinning atoms. In a paper appearing today in the journal Nature, researchers from MIT and Harvard University reveal how magnetic forces …
“A quantum effect in topological semimetals demonstrated by MIT researchers could allow for the utilization of an untapped energy source. More than two-thirds of the energy used worldwide is ultimately ejected as “waste heat.” Within that reservoir of discarded energy …
“The advance could cut production costs and reduce the size of microelectronics for sensing and communication. nect LED technologies to a device’s computer chip. The LED in your smartphone’s proximity sensor, for example, is made from III-V …
“The design, which uses entangled atoms, could help scientists detect dark matter and study gravity’s effect on time. Atomic clocks are the most precise timekeepers in the world. These exquisite instruments use lasers to measure the vibrations of atoms …
“System uses machine learning to analyze boundaries between crystal grains, allowing for selection of desired properties in a new metal. Advanced metal alloys are essential in key parts of modern life, from cars to satellites, from construction materials to electronics …
