Researchers at MIT have found an unexpected way to make use of something electronics usually try hard to get rid of: heat. Instead of treating excess heat as a problem, the team showed that it can be ...

When given a target functionality, usually a particular pattern of heat conductivity, this algorithm can slowly hone in on the best possible design. The researchers refer to this as "inverse design," ...

Taback, the Isaac Henry Wing Professor of Mathematics, was announcing the visit of John Urschel to campus. Formerly an ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated a surprising new way to compute—by using heat instead ...
