The alignment of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is finished, and it's ready to capture images with its four powerful onboard science instruments. Webb will now move to a final series of preparations, known as science instrument…

There’s been a constant demand for smaller, lighter, and cheaper cameras. But miniaturization is restricted by the lens system and the focusing distance required by refractive lenses. Researchers have developed a new image reconstruction…

Battery recharging is problematic. With each subsequent charge, batteries decay. An international, multi-agency/university study published in Science looks at what drives a battery's lifespan and how those factors change over time in…

It's no surprise that there are electronics shortages we face today. But from those disruptions to the current situation in Ukraine, it almost seems like the industry can't catch a break. And while supply chain professionals have had to…

MIT announced the launch of an MIT AI Hardware Program, joined by five inaugural companies to advance transformative AI technologies for the next decade. The academia and industry collaboration will define and develop translational…

When it comes to autonomous vehicles, the push has been to replace drivers eventually, letting the car completely take over. However, the upshot of a recent presentation is that instead of unhooking the driver, a more realistic prospect is…

As long as things stay the same, warehouse robots accurately pick and place for shipment without problems. However, change the process, and you must reprogram the robot and retrain the system. MIT researchers developed a training…

An Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) launched by NASA on 9 December 2021 is a space-based observatory. Developed with the Italian Space Agency (ASI), it has three identical telescopes, each with an imaging X-ray detector sensitive…

With most 3D printers, objects are built up layer by layer. But what if they didn’t have to be? Dan Congreve, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Stanford and former Rowland Fellow at the Rowland Institute at Harvard…
