When given a target functionality, usually a particular pattern of heat conductivity, this algorithm can slowly hone in on the best possible design. The researchers refer to this as "inverse design," ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated a surprising new way to compute—by using heat instead of electricity. In a proof-of-concept study published in Physical Review ...

Quantum computing and its threat to current encryption and the unknown threat of powerful quantum automated by advanced AI.

Sensors and vehicle platforms remain capable for decades. The factor limiting their lethality is the computing hardware sitting between the sensors and the shooter. By treating that hardware as ...
