MIT creates easier way to build smart structures
Researchers use snap-together blocks with built-in electronics to make strong, interactive devices without waste.

Scientists track and tweak ultrafast material changes
New method uses lasers to measure tiny delays in light, revealing how materials transform in billionths of a billionth of a second.

New memristors mimic brain cells for better computers
Scientists build stable, low-power memristors to help artificial neural networks learn new things without forgetting old ones.

New technology boosts electronics with frictionless sliding
Scientists use superlubricity, a state with almost no friction, to make faster, more efficient memory for computers.

Tiny antennas hear low-frequency signals
Researchers shrink antennas 10,000 times using laser-trapped nanoparticles for underwater, underground, and space communications.

A self-learning memristor-based chip for on-board AI
Researchers at KAIST have developed a memristor-based chip that learns in real-time for on-board AI applications.

Vortices of light could transport huge amounts of data
Researchers have developed a way to transmit more information by creating tiny, controlled vortices of light that can carry data.

Electronic devices 3D-printed with conductive polymers
A MIT team created logic gates using large molecules that carry electricity (conductive polymers) instead of semiconductors.

Electron fluid research could open the door to better electronics
In certain materials, electrons can exhibit this fluid-like behavior at room temperature or under specific conditions.

Ultra-thin battery charged by saline solution could power smart augmented-reality contact lenses
Imagine lenses that flash data on our corneas, keep an eye on our health, or flag diseases like glaucoma or diabetes
