- 30x faster analytics, GPU kernels generated automatically from SQL, AI matched to lab-grown tumor models for cancer treatment, and LLMs that learn across tasks without retraining. Dive into the latest issue of Research Focus: msft.it/6010vcYZ4
00:00 - Project Ire examined a timely malware sample and determined its intent through reverse engineering—identifying LOTUSLITE characteristics even as most major EDR tools did not detect it. msft.it/6011viy4N
00:00 - A new research effort called Encrypted Spaces explores an architecture for collaborative applications where data is encrypted, and operations are cryptographically verifiable. Learn more:
- New research in Nature Methods from Project Ex Vivo shows AI models learn more from diverse cell states than from scaled datasets alone, a finding that could reshape how therapies are matched to patients. msft.it/6013vgE8l
- A BTS look a first timer's experience at the MSR lab at Microsoft Build 2026—featuring the demos, the builders, and the conversations that made it worth the trip.
00:00 - During the Inside Azure Innovations breakout at Build 2026, Microsoft Azure CTO, deputy CISO and technical fellow Mark Russinovich introduced Project Mosaic, an experimental optical interconnect technology from Microsoft Research Cambridge using micro-LEDs for low-power,
- That’s a wrap on Microsoft Build 2026. Huge thank you to the researchers and team who brought it to life on the floor this week. If you missed what we shared, check it out here: msft.it/6015vjfld
- What do the people who build the foundations for others to build on like to build themselves? The answers may surprise you, everything from sandwiches to the future. #MSBuild
00:00 - You don’t have to be a developer. You can just build stuff. @shanselman on his first walk through the Microsoft Research Lab at #MSBuild.
00:00 - The sights and sounds of Microsoft Research at #MSBuild. Come see us at the Lab inside the Gateway Pavilion for Day 2.
00:00 - A three‑month pilot in a Midwestern bottling plant shows what happens when AI moves beyond chat and into decision-making, where constraints shift, stakes are real, and answers must hold. msft.it/6015vjYUN
- Day 1 of Microsoft Build is a wrap. A lot happened today, and we brought some of our favorite tools to the floor for developers to get hands-on with. Explore it all: msft.it/6019vjO9D
