Boston Business Journal reported that the US Air Force renewed its longstanding support for MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Ian Waitz said MITLL is “essential to a robust defense sector and to addressing the rapidly evolving nature of world conflict.”

Engineers have created a 10-nanometer-thick electronic “skin” that senses heat without requiring cooling systems, which could enable lightweight night-vision glasses. Xinyuan Zhang notes it “could be directly worn on glasses.”

A new machine-learning model predicts the fleeting but critical “point of no return” during chemical reactions in under a second. The work could streamline the design of efficient reactions for creating fuels and pharmaceuticals.

Military & Aerospace Electronics reported on a key step toward a practical quantum computer: Researchers achieved “remote entanglement — an essential step in building distributed quantum networks — by sending photons between two quantum processors.”

Researchers have developed a new technique that guides AI models to generate accurate, error-free code by focusing on outputs most likely to be valid, enhancing efficiency and enabling smaller models to outperform larger ones in real-world tasks.
