Using AI plus an open-source dataset could lead to rapid advancements in adaptive radar systems. Adaptive radar detects, locates, and tracks moving objects, rapidly taking pictures. With the help of modern AI approaches and lessons learned…

MIT and Duke University chemists discovered a novel way to strengthen polymers—throw a few weaker bonds into the material. For polyacrylate elastomers, researchers increased materials' resistance to tearing by 10x just by using a weaker…

What exactly goes on in the minds of machines that learn to see? Duke University’s computer science professor, Cynthia Rudin, set out to define exactly what happens in between input and output in deep learning models. The complexity…

With 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections in the U.S. each year, and more than 35,000 deaths, identifying superbugs that are resistant to treatment by antibiotics is an increasingly important healthcare challenge. Recently,…

While science fiction doesn’t always end up becoming reality, researchers at Duke University are making some of the technology predicted by Philip K. Dick in the 1950s and Steven Spielberg at the turn of the century a reality. In one of…
