TACS-RF preprint demonstrates AI-assisted design of a 240-251 GHz transmitter
Researchers report that an AI coding agent directly operated industry-standard circuit design tools to semi-autonomously design a 240-251 GHz transmitter in a 90 nm SiGe BiCMOS process. Their TACS-RF framework uses Claude Opus 4.8...
Lumina simulation combines galaxy formation and radiation across larger cosmic volume
Researchers at MIT, Harvard and other institutions have presented Lumina, a simulation that tracks galaxy formation and radiation across 2 billion years of early cosmic evolution. MIT says it captures both hydrogen and helium re-i...
DIVA procedure reduces AI decision losses by limiting unnecessary checks in preprint
Researchers report that a procedure called DIVA reduces losses from AI decisions by weighing whether additional evidence is worth its cost. In synthetic scenarios with known check reliability, it cut value lost relative to the bes...
Interactive testing improves coding agents' application repairs in preprint
Researchers report that coding agents repaired 75.5% of broken application requirements within five attempts when feedback came from agents interacting with the software, compared with 55.4% using code-only feedback. The preprint ...
