Behind every modern military operation lie two persistent, underappreciated vulnerabilities: batteries that falter before the mission ends, and corrosion that quietly eats away at billions in critical defense infrastructure. From tactical radios and drones to aircraft carriers and submarines, these materials challenges silently define the reliability and readiness of U.S. …
Read More »In our data-driven world, the demand for faster, more secure, and energy-efficient technologies is reaching new heights. One groundbreaking field that holds the key to these challenges is silicon photonics—a technology that harnesses light on silicon chips to transmit and process information. But beyond speeding up classical data networks, silicon …
