New advances in graph machine learning paired with telemetry unlock a disruptive new ability to measure and reason about how organizations function. The modern workplace has changed the way collaborative work is performed. With the shift to remote and hybrid…
Transitioned | The goal of Carbonix is to direct computational tool development efforts and expertise of these teams, along with complementary domain expertise of a global ecosystem of external research leaders, to accelerate materials engineering for the economical decarbonization of…
Transitioned | Watch For is a large-scale, low-cost, highly programmable media analysis platform built on Azure.
Established:
Transitioned | Project OneFuzz enables continuous developer-driven fuzzing to proactively harden software prior to release. With a single command, which can be baked into CICD, developers can launch fuzz jobs from a few virtual machines to thousands of cores.
With Project Eclipse, the Urban Innovation Initiative presents a full stack -from sensors to analytics- air quality sensing platform for cities. The goal is a radical increase (10x – 100x) in the geographic granularity of environmental sensing in cities in…
Cryptography in the era of quantum computers The private communication of individuals and organizations is protected online by cryptography. Cryptography protects our information as it travels over and is stored on the internet—whether making a purchase from an online store,…
Established:
Transitioned | Microsoft Research special project to develop enabling technology for virtualizing and cloudifying telecommunication network infrastructure (e.g., 5G) on hyperscale cloud platforms (such as Azure).
Transitioned | Project Natick seeks to understand the benefits and difficulties in deploying subsea datacenters worldwide — we designed, built, and deployed our own prototype subsea datacenter in the ocean, all in about a year.
Holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high-quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed and transmitted anywhere in the world in real time. When combined with mixed reality displays such as HoloLens, this technology…
