n a study that closes a long-standing knowledge gap in fundamental science, researchers Boerge Hemmerling and Stephen Kane at the University of California, Riverside, have successfully measured the electric dipole moment of aluminum monochloride (AlCl), a simple yet scientifically crucial diatomic molecule. Their results have implications for quantum technologies, astrophysics, and planetary science.

Combining experimental observations, molecular calculations and chemistry principles, researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and MIT developed a predictive tool to efficiently design formulations for patterned polymers.

New model can help farmers decide whether cover crops are economically beneficial - or not.

Using a variety of microscopic analysis techniques not available when the Apollo astronauts first returned samples from the moon, researchers have been able to take a close look at the microscopic mineral deposits on the outside of lunar beads. 

MIT researchers developed a photonic AI hardware accelerator designed specifically to handle wireless signal processing, reducing latency. Their architecture encodes and processes data using light to dramatically accelerate deep learning computations on an edge device.
