The open library
Research, in the open.
Everything the lab publishes, in full. Confirmations and failures alike — a result that did not replicate is part of the record, not an omission from it.

The Micro Black Hole Energy Converter: A Specification-Driven Assessment of Hawking-Radiation Power Extraction
A black hole of mass 10⁸–10⁹ kg radiates its entire rest-mass energy as Hawking emission over years to decades at sustained power of order 10¹⁶–10¹⁷ W, making it the most mass-efficient energy converter permitted by known physics: effective conversion efficiency approaches unity,…

Multiplication Without Transistors: An Audit of Photonic Matrix Processors as Accelerators for Large Language Model Training
Matrix multiplication accounts for the overwhelming majority of arithmetic operations — and a dominant share of energy expenditure — in training large language models (LLMs). Photonic processors perform matrix–vector multiplication (MVM) as a passive consequence of light propaga…
