Optics and photonics awards go to Professor Marin Soljacic as well as alumni Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato, Turan Erdogan, Harold Metcalf, and Andrew Weiner.
New repair techniques enable microscale robots to recover flight performance after suffering severe damage to the artificial muscles that power their wings.
The second annual student-industry conference was held in-person for the first time.
The chip, which can decipher any encoded signal, could enable lower-cost devices that perform better while requiring less hardware.
A wireless technique enables a super-cold quantum computer to send and receive data without generating too much error-causing heat.
Using lasers, researchers can directly control a property of nuclei called spin, that can encode quantum information.
The method enables a model to determine its confidence in a prediction, while using no additional data and far fewer computing resources than other methods.
“Squeezing” noise over a broad frequency bandwidth in a quantum system could lead to faster and more accurate quantum measurements.
Stacking light-emitting diodes instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive virtual reality displays and higher-resolution digital screens.
Their technique could allow chip manufacturers to produce next-generation transistors based on materials other than silicon.
Researchers have demonstrated directional photon emission, the first step toward extensible quantum interconnects.
A new method can produce a hundredfold increase in light emissions from a type of electron-photon coupling, which is key to electron microscopes and other technologies.
Palacios has served as director of the 6-A MEng Thesis Program, industry officer, and professor of electrical engineering.
Researchers develop a scalable fabrication technique to produce ultrathin, lightweight solar cells that can be seamlessly added to any surface.
