GXBeam is a pure Julia implementation of Geometrically Exact Beam Theory, originally based on the open source code GEBT and its associated papers[1] [2], though it has since been augmented with a ...

ALPHABETA is a piece of software written in Python that calculates alpha and beta tilt angles of a double tilt stage in a TEM (transmission electron microscope). The tool comes with an intuitive user ...

For decades, relaxor ferroelectrics have powered everything from medical ultrasounds to sonar systems, yet their inner atomic structure remained a mystery—until now. Researchers have finally mapped ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and partner institutions have developed a photonic chip that can project thousands of controlled laser beams directly into free space. The ...

Photonic chips use light to process data instead of electricity, enabling faster communication speeds and greater bandwidth. Most of that light typically stays on the chip, trapped in optical wires, ...

MIT physicists propose a “neutrino laser,” a quantum-driven burst of neutrinos that could revolutionize communication and medical technology. Credit: Jose-Luis Olivares, MIT; Adapted by ...

Quaise is taking its technology from the lab to field trials for the first time this year. A beam of energy hit the slab of rock, which quickly began to glow. Pieces cracked off, sparks ricocheted, ...

Unclear objectives, insufficient data readiness, and a lack of in-house expertise are sinking many AI proofs of concept. So too are zealous POC greenlighting and misguided pressure from the top. The ...

A surprising “photomolecular effect” could affect calculations of climate change and may lead to improved desalination and drying processes. In a series of painstakingly precise experiments, a team of ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Moore’s law is already pretty fast. It holds that computer chips pack in twice as many transistors every two years or so, producing ...
