Beams of light, shown in orange and blue, are shined on a surface acoustic wave resonator, where their interactions are controlled by a precisely designed cavity. Inside this echo chamber, the light becomes strongly coupled…
A group of MIT researchers who use AI to mitigate traffic congestion applied ideas from that domain to tackle the problem of multiple robots in a warehouse setting. By breaking an intractable problem into smaller…
Apple has quietly acquired yet another AI startup, Canada’s Darwin AI, a company focused on machine vision intelligence, smart manufacturing, improved machine learning efficiency and edge-based intelligence. All of these seem critical to Apple’s future…
Researchers developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. They used the technique to print a microlens array, which is shown being held by a…
