Using Flaws to Find Flaws: Quantum Sensing for Microelectronics Security

From the components in our smart phones to the integrated circuits in power grids and commercial aircraft, modern microelectronics pervade our way of life. Manufacturing of these tiny chips carries big challenges for global supply-chain stability and security.

Those challenges include a complex semiconductor manufacturing process that can create unintentional defects. Even more concerning: With today’s heavy reliance on overseas fabrication facilities, adversaries could tamper with the supply c

Beneath the Deep: 3D Printing Opens Novel Wave of Maritime Opportunities

Our researchers worked with these companies to create an entirely new technique to 3D print the tiny ceramic structures used in undersea acoustic transducers.

The research team demonstrated a technology that can create novel transducers with improved properties, such as sensitivity, directionality, and bandwidth. These can be applied to unique undersea missions not well-served by conventionally manufactured transducers, including the activities of small maritime robots known as autonomous under

Building Global Cyber Capacity, Nation by Nation

Both efforts draw on MITRE-developed open frameworks and standards, like National Institute of Standards and Technology publications, ATT&CK®, and CALDERA™. And they focus on the policy, processes, and skills needed to make such tools effective.

The result: a global cyber community armed to meet the threats of today and tomorrow.

Principal cyber engineer Denise Olsen, MITRE’s ADCS lead, says, “In conjunction with open frameworks like ATT&CK, ADCS is laying the foundation for true collective se

Delivering GRACE: AI and Analytics to Reduce Risk in Children’s Healthcare

The joint team of data experts and clinical experts created the Generating Risk Reduction Analytics for Complex Cardiac Care Environments framework, a.k.a. GRACE, for procedures at BCH. Born of a 10-year collaboration with this top U.S. pediatric healthcare facility, GRACE uses AI to reduce the risk of undesirable clinical outcomes, or adverse events, occurring within 48 hours of a procedure.

“For many reasons—from technical ones to human ones—it’s really hard to get AI algorithm research adopt
