The next era of computing will depend on controlling light the way we now control electricity, and Stanford scientists have developed a trick that could do just that.
Using artificial intelligence, a Stanford-led research team has slashed battery testing times – a key barrier to longer-lasting, faster-charging batteries for electric vehicles – by nearly fifteenfold.
A professor of astronautics foresees a new space age in which distributed space systems made of small satellites work in tandem to replace or augment their monolithic ancestors.
By teaching machines to understand our true desires, one scientist hopes to avoid the potentially disastrous consequences of having them do what we command.
Photonics engineers are working toward a day when fast, energy-efficient computers do their mathematics using photons — packets of light — instead of electrons.
Stanford researchers are helping to develop swarms of cheap sat-bots that would work together to get more done than larger, costlier satellites working alone.
