A new machine-learning model makes more accurate predictions about ocean currents, which could help with tracking plastic pollution and oil spills, and aid in search…
Scientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT have provided comprehensive insight into how serotonin affects behavior in a study using the…
A new study shows that carbon-capturing phytoplankton colonized the ocean by rafting on particles of chitin. MIT researchers found that Prochlorococcus, a vital phytoplankton, likely…
Researchers find that models trained using common data-collection techniques judge rule violations more harshly than humans would. Machine-learning models often make harsher judgments than humans…
A perovskite-based device that combines aspects of electronics and photonics may open doors to new kinds of computer chips or quantum qubits. MIT researchers have…
Researchers identify a property that helps computer vision models learn to represent the visual world in a more stable, predictable way. MIT researchers found that…
An open-source tool developed by MIT’s Senseable City Lab allows individuals to easily and affordably monitor air quality. Air pollution poses a major threat to…
MIT engineers’ new technique analyzes the 3D organization of the genome at a resolution 100 times higher than before. Researchers at MIT have created a…
The event was spotted in infrared data — also a first — suggesting further searches in this band could turn up more such bursts. MIT…
Earth will meet a similar fate in 5 billion years. As a star runs out of fuel, it will billow out to a million times…
California blackworms tangle themselves up by the thousands, then separate in a split second. Their trick may inspire the design of self-detangling materials and fibers….
The printer generates vaccine-filled microneedle patches that can be stored long-term at room temperature and applied to the skin. Getting vaccines to people who need…
Following cataract removal, some of the brain’s visual pathways seem to be more malleable than previously thought. MIT researchers have shown that children over 7…
A new low-temperature growth and fabrication technology allows the integration of 2D materials directly onto a silicon circuit, which could lead to denser and more…
The observations will help astronomers pin down the physics of the plasma around black holes. Astronomers have used the Global Millimeter VLBI Array (GMVA) to…
Technique enables production of pure, uniform coatings of metals or polymers, even on contoured surfaces. MIT’s Karen Gleason has advanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) techniques,…
The device, which uses electricity to boost hormone production in the stomach, could help to ease nausea and counteract appetite loss. Hormones released by the…
