““Light squeezer” reduces quantum noise in lasers, could enhance quantum computing and gravitational-wave detection. Physicists at MIT have designed a quantum “light squeezer” that reduces quantum noise in an incoming laser beam by 15 percent. It is the first system …
“MIT engineers develop a hybrid process that connects photonics with “artificial atoms,” to produce the largest quantum chip of its type. MIT researchers have developed a process to manufacture and integrate “artificial atoms,” created by atomic-scale defects in microscopically thin …
“For every droplet dispersed into the air that we can’t see, touch, or feel, the ominous threat of spreading Covid-19 persists. It’s become increasingly critical to keep these heavy droplets from lingering - especially on surfaces, which are welcoming …
“Music gesture artificial intelligence tool developed at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab uses body movements to isolate the sounds of individual instruments. We listen to music with our ears, but also our eyes, watching with appreciation as the pianist …
“Study shows LIGO’s 40-kilogram mirrors can move in response to tiny quantum effects, revealing the “spooky popcorn of the universe.” The universe, as seen through the lens of quantum mechanics, is a noisy, crackling space where particles blink constantly …
“Ion-based technology may enable energy-efficient simulations of the brain’s learning process, for neural network AI systems. Teams around the world are building ever more sophisticated artificial intelligence systems of a type called neural networks, designed in some ways to …
“Fabrication technique will enable SkyWater Technology to manufacture a range of electronics that can withstand harsh radiation environments. High levels of radiation, such as those occurring naturally in space and at high altitudes on Earth, can wreak havoc on electronics …
“Exotic states called Kohn anomalies could offer clues to why some materials have the electronic properties they do. An exotic physical phenomenon known as a Kohn anomaly has been found for the first time in an unexpected type of material …
“Signal from 500 million light years away is the first periodic pattern of radio bursts detected. A team of astronomers, including researchers at MIT, has picked up on a curious, repeating rhythm of fast radio bursts emanating from an unknown …
“The design could advance the development of small, portable AI devices. MIT engineers have designed a “brain-on-a-chip,” smaller than a piece of confetti, that is made from tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses known as memristors — silicon-based components that …
