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.

TEMPO: A Time-Domain Ferroelectric Compute-in-Memory Macro with Drift-Cancelling Twin Cells and Significance-Ordered Early Termination
The energy cost of moving data between memory and processing units now dominates the energy cost of arithmetic itself, often by two to three orders of magnitude for off-chip access. Compute-in-memory (CIM) architectures attack this bottleneck by performing multiply-accumulate (MA…

Muon-Catalyzed d–³He Fusion as a Permission Structure: A Specification for Net-Positive Energy Balance
Muon-catalyzed fusion (μCF) of deuterium and helium-3 combines two attractive properties: an aneutronic reaction (d + ³He → p + α, Q = 18.35 MeV) whose products are entirely charged particles amenable to direct electric conversion, and a catalysis mechanism that operates at low t…

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…
