Performance and Analysis of a Deployable DiffractiveOptical Element for Small Satellite Missions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)As space missions push toward smaller, lighter, and more deployable instrumentation, diffractive optical elements (DOEs) offer a compelling alternative to traditional optics. Their ability to focus light through engineered ... -
Partial Gravity Load Simulation Using Mechanical Off-Loading and Lower Body Negative Pressure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Prolonged exposure to reduced gravity environments can lead to significant deconditioning of the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and ocular systems. These effects increase the risk of orthostatic intolerance, bone loss, ... -
Unforgettable Generalization in Language Models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)When language models (LMs) are trained to forget (or “unlearn”) a skill, how precisely does their behavior change? We study the behavior of transformer LMs in which tasks have been forgotten via fine-tuning on randomized ...
