Cryptographie post-quantique : nouveau livre chez Dunod

Les éditions Dunod proposent un ouvrage sur le post-quantique : cryptographie post-quantique. Les auteurs sont des experts du domaine : Pierre-Alain Fouque, Pascal Lafourcade et Ludovic Perret. Ludovic avait notamment présenté deux sessions sur ce thème dans les dernières conférences DevCon du...

Le « lore », ou la passion d’explorer des mondes imaginaires

Le « lore », ou la passion d’explorer des mondes imaginaires

Issu du genre de la fantasy et popularisé par les jeux vidéo, le mot désigne l’ensemble des caractéristiques d’un univers fictionnel. Devenu synonyme de « contexte » ou d’« arrière-plan » dans le langage courant, il signale notre appétence pour la compréhension de ce qui est caché.

Inventor recalls eye imaging breakthrough

Inventor recalls eye imaging breakthrough

If you’ve been to an eye doctor and had an image taken of the inside of your eye, chances are good it was done with optical coherence tomography (OCT)—a technology invented by clinician-scientist David Huang ’85, SM ’89, PhD ’93, and now used in 40 million procedures per year.  OCT is a...

AI at MIT

AI at MIT

At MIT, AI has become so pervasive that you can almost find your way into it without meaning to. Take Sili Deng, an associate professor of mechanical engineering. Deng says she still doesn’t know whether she’d have gone all in on artificial intelligence had it not been for the covid pandemic....

Get ready for hotter, muggier, stormier summers

Get ready for hotter, muggier, stormier summers

A long stretch of humid heat followed by a powerful thunderstorm is a familiar weather pattern in the tropics, but it’s also becoming more common in midlatitude regions such as the US Midwest. A recent study by two MIT scientists identifies a key atmospheric condition that determines how hot,...

Early life may have breathed oxygen earlier than believed

Early life may have breathed oxygen earlier than believed

Around 2.3 billion years ago, a pivotal period known as the Great Oxidation Event set the evolutionary course for oxygen-breathing life on Earth. But MIT geobiologists and colleagues have found evidence that some early forms of life evolved the ability to use oxygen hundreds of millions of years...

The new word in home construction could be “plastics”

The new word in home construction could be “plastics”

Single-use plastics are a persistent source of environmental pollution, and the need to house a growing global population puts increasing pressure on resources such as timber. MIT engineers have an idea that could make a dent in both problems at once. In a recent study, a team led by mechanical...

Artificial scientists

Artificial scientists

AI companies frequently invoke the possibility of AI-enabled scientific discovery as a justification for their existence: If the technology eventually cures cancer and solves climate change, then all the carbon emissions and slop videos will have been well worth it.  Already, LLMs can assist...

China’s open-source bet

Silicon Valley AI companies follow a familiar playbook: Keep the secret sauce behind an API, and charge for every drop. China’s leading AI labs are playing a different game: They ship models as downloadable “open-weight” packages. This lets developers adapt the models and run them on their own...
