Collaborators: Sustainable electronics with Jake Smith and Aniruddh Vashisth
| Gretchen Huizinga, Jake Smith, and Aniruddh Vashisth
Printed circuit boards are abundant—in the stuff we use and in landfills. Researcher Jake Smith and professor Aniruddh Vashisth discuss the development of vitrimer-based PCBs that perform comparably to traditional PCBs but have less environmental impact.
Microsoft Research Forum Episode 3: Globally inclusive and equitable AI, new use cases for AI, and more
“We’re at the very early stage of generative AI and the impacts it will have on work. This is a fast-moving field, and there’s an immense opportunity to take control of the agenda and build truly globally equitable AI systems”,…
Tian Xie introduces MatterGen, a generative model that creates new inorganic materials based on a broad range of property conditions required by the application, aiming to shift the traditional paradigm of materials design with generative AI.
