RLE Link System, Kerberos Required

Yearly Archives (2015)

"The keys to RLE’s success have been an insistence on fundamental understanding, an openness to multiple viewpoints, the tight coupling of theory and experiment, motivation through a focus on applications, and an ongoing interaction between the development of probe techniques and the discovery of new phenomena."

—Jonathan Allen
Sixth Director of RLE

Researchers have produced a working optoelectronic chip that computes electronically but uses light to move information. The chip has 850 optical components and 70 million transistors, which, while significantly less than the billion-odd transistors of a typical microprocessor, is enough to demonstrate all the functionality that a commercial optical chip would require.

Henry Thomas Tizard (center), British physicist and head of the Tizard Mission, visits with MIT researchers. The 1940 Tizard Mission introduced to the U.S. the newly invented resonant-cavity magnetron and other British radar developments, and helped establish MIT as a major federally funded research university.

By using plasmons to “wiggle” a free electron in a sheet of graphene, researchers have developed a new method for generating X-rays. In this image of one of their simulations, the color and height represent the intensity of radiation (with blue the lowest intensity and red the highest), at a moment in time just after an electron (grey sphere) moving close to the surface generates a pulse.
