This illustration shows an array of integrated antennas developed by MIT researchers (right) that minimizes the unwanted crosstalk that can occur in a standard antenna array (left). This innovation could enable a lidar chip to scan a wider field of view while maintaining low-noise operation.

Photonics advance could enable compact, high-performance lidar sensors

A new MIT study finds that despite regional differences in climate, electricity sources, traffic, and driving patterns, electric vehicles produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions — and cost no more to own — than comparable gas-powered cars for most U.S drivers.

For most US drivers, EVs offer emissions benefits and cost savings

MIT engineers have developed a way to generate 3D photonic devices with nanoscale features, by shrinking them after fabrication. In their new study, they created devices in a variety of shapes, including helices and a shape inspired by the wing of a butterfly.

Powerful shrinking technique could enable devices that compute with light
