Propelling atomically layered magnets toward green computers

The flow of electrical current in the bottom crystalline slab (representing WTe2) breaks a mirror symmetry (shattered glass), while the material itself breaks the other mirror symmetry (cracked glass). The resulting spin current has vertical polarization that switches the magnetic state of the top 2D ferromagnet.

Think globally, rebuild locally

Studying Amsterdam, MIT researchers found the optimal system for reusing construction materials has many local storage “hubs” that keep materials within a few miles of where they will be needed. The findings could help policymakers and urban planners develop circular economies of reused materials.

Researchers harness 2D magnetic materials for energy-efficient computing

This illustration shows electric current being pumped into platinum (the bottom slab), which results in the creation of an electron spin current that switches the magnetic state of the 2D ferromagnet on top. The colored spheres represent the atoms in the 2D material.

New tools are available to help reduce the energy that AI models devour

MIT Lincoln Laboratory

At the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center, researchers are making changes to cut down on energy use. One of their techniques can reduce the energy of training AI models by 80 percent.
