AI compressed the build. Fundamentals matter more, not less, and the product funnel is now where engineers earn their keep.

Order doesn’t always form perfectly—and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, tiny “defects” emerge when symmetry breaks, shaping everything from cosmic ...

Abstract: Higher-order staircase codes form a class of generalized staircase codes in which each bit is protected by more than two component codes. Among them, the extended-Hamming-based higher-order ...
