An artist's illustration of a neutron star emitting a radio beam from within its magnetic environment. As the radio waves travel through dense plasma within the galaxy, they split into multiple paths, causing the observed signal to flicker in brightness.

MIT engineers have developed a method to seamlessly stack electronic layers to create faster, denser, more powerful computer chips. The team deposits semiconducting particles (in pink) as triangles within confined squares, to create high-quality electronic elements, directly atop other semiconducting layers (shown in layers of purple, blue, and green).
