A new photonic chip designed by MIT scientists performs all deep neural network computations optically, achieving tasks in ...

Dec. 10, 2024 — For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but ...

Doubly unfortunate for those among us eager to visit galaxies far, far away–even moving at near lightspeed isn’t in the cards. “It’s neither possible nor survivable to travel near the speed of light ...

The Big Bang should be thought of as a "point" in time but not happening at a particular place. Astronomers will often say ...

MIT researchers developed a photonic processor for AI, achieving high-speed, low-latency, and energy-efficient computations.

A research team has proposed a new method to reconstruct the "family tree" of black holes. Published in The Astrophysical ...

The modern microchip stretches both the limits of physics and credulity. Such is the atomic precision, that a few atoms can ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...

Making panda stem cells, mapping a fruit fly’s brain and witnessing a black hole wake up were among the biggest achievements of the year.

PhD student Yang Yu, a graduate of USTC’s school for the gifted young, and his fellow researchers achieve the impossible.
