No network is "untrainable." 🧠 @MIT_CSAIL’s new "guidance" method aligns internal representations to unlock learning in ineffective architectures. It transfers structural knowledge, not just outputs. 🚀 https://t.co/U8LguZQEFq

#Magnonics! 3D magnetic nanotubes that transmit data using "spin waves" instead of electrons. By twisting nickel tubes to induce chirality, they've built a 3D diode for low-energy, high-speed computing. The twisted nanotubes that tell a story
actu.epfl.ch
In collaboration with scientists in Germany, EPFL researchers have demonstrated that the spiral geometry of tiny, twisted magnetic tubes can be leveraged to transmit data based on quasiparticles...
