#CalTech

Imagine wi-fi speeds at 100x current rates. Using optical or infrared light, such blindingly fast data rates could be possible. And #Caltech researchers have developed a smart surface that could offer wireless-like connectivity at optical bandwidths.

Remember when @NASAInSight landed and we were all excited because of the mole that #Caltech folks helped test? (And remember the awesome @Oatmeal comic explaining how amazing the mole is?) Well, it's time - @NASAInSight has released the mole!

Today, we broke ground on the Resnick Sustainability Center (RSC), a new hub for #Caltech students and researchers investigating challenges in global #sustainability. The 79,500-square-foot building is on track to open in 2024 and earn #LEED platinum certification. @caltechRSI

Looking for something to do this weekend #Pasadena? We invite you to check out what's happening at #Caltech! Enjoy a lecture Friday night (a hard choice between @aussiastronomer, @plutokiller, and @stephen_wolfram!) and #ScienceForMarch on Saturday!

Quantum state as sound? Caltech’s breakthrough has quantum memories jamming with 30x longer storage—compact, efficient, and ready to scale quantum tech to new heights. The future of computing just got a lot more harmonious! #QuantumComputing #Caltech #Research

Why pursue #sustainability science? Who better to answer this question than #Caltech’s Resnick Scholars, grad students and postdocs seeking solutions for a sustainable future through research. @caltechRSI @CaltechMagazine

Wondering what the relationship is like between Elon Musk and Carver Mead. #ElonMusk #caltech

Throughout #WomensHistoryMonth we'll be sharing stories both current and archival of some phenomenal women who've made #Caltech their academic home. 👩🏽‍🎓👩🏻‍🔬👩‍🔧👩🏽‍💻👩🏾‍🚀👩🏼‍⚕️

How'd you spend your summer? Mahlet Shiferaw, a rising senior at @Harvard, spent hers here at #Caltech studying higher-order modes of gravitational waves with @LIGO. ⚫️🔊

For autonomous #drones to perform real-world tasks, like deliver packages or airlift the injured, they must be able to adapt to wind conditions in real time. #Caltech engineers have developed a deep-learning method called Neural-Fly to face this challenge.

And as simple as that, my J1 visa just got approved! #postdoclifebegins #Caltech here I come. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Richard Feynman, the 'Great Explainer,' helping a Caltech student with a physics problem #Feynman #Caltech #physics #quantum

#Caltech advances interstellar travel with a new platform to test ultrathin lightsails. This breakthrough measures laser-induced forces, paving the way for future space exploration beyond our solar system. @Caltech @NaturePhotonics

A new #Caltech-led study describes how machine learning tools, run on classical computers, can be used to make predictions about #quantum systems and thus help researchers solve some of the trickiest #physics and #chemistry problems.

Professor @PaulOWennberg studies the global atmosphere and air quality. He recently answered questions about gas stoves and indoor air quality in this Q&A for the #CaltechScienceExchange: #GasStoves #Caltech #IndoorAirQuality

I will be embarking on a new chapter in my career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry @TexasTech. Stay tuned for updates. #Caltech #CornellUniversity #Chemistry

#gravitationalwaves have been detected! @NSF @LIGO #Caltech @MIT

These abstract-looking data points tell an extraordinary story: The first time anyone has witnessed a star eating one of its planets. #Astronomy #Cannibalism

When stars get old, they get bigger. If they expand enough, they can engulf and consume their planets. That will happen with our Sun in about 5 billion years. For the star ZTF SLRN-2020, it's happening now. Quick video explainer: #Caltech #astronomy

.@LIGO scientists at #Caltech viewing get a well-deserved round of applause #gravitationalwaves #einsteinwasright

#CalTech ranked a disappointing #149 of 203 on the #2023CollegeFreeSpeech Rankings. A class of 2024 student wrote: "Most of the time when writing papers about contemporary issues I just formulate an argument I believe the professor will like; I don't really reference my own views at all."
