It wasn't an action film featuring a kamikaze mission, smashing a spacecraft into a stadium-sized asteroid, and resetting its orbit last September. It was NASA’s DART mission and the first test of a planetary defense strategy. MIT…

The MIT School of Engineering announced the MIT-Pillar AI Collective, a one-year pilot program funded by a gift from Pillar VC. The program will provide seed grants for projects in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science…

A significant challenge for undersea exploration is powering underwater cameras. Researchers can tether it to their vessel or send a ship and diver to recharge its batteries. MIT researchers are overcoming the challenge, developing a…

Training a machine-learning model to perform a task requires thousands, millions, or even billions of examples. These vast datasets are a privacy challenge. Researchers from MIT and MIT startup DynamoFL are using federated learning to make…

MIT developed a device that uses a neural network to discern the presence and severity of one of the fastest-growing neurological diseases in the world—Parkinson’s. It is the second-most common neurological disorder after Alzheimer's…

MIT researchers innovated a method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties, which can sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment. They create the sensing structures using one material and a single…

Instead of tossing out devices when there's a new model, we could upgrade them with the latest sensors and processors that snap onto a device's internal chip — like LEGO bricks. Such reconfigurable chips could keep devices up to date and…

MIT astronomers have locked onto a mysterious system 3,000 light years from Earth—a "black widow binary." The rapidly spinning neutron star, or pulsar, is circling and slowly consuming a smaller companion star, just like the mate-destroying…

MIT announced the launch of an MIT AI Hardware Program, joined by five inaugural companies to advance transformative AI technologies for the next decade. The academia and industry collaboration will define and develop translational…

When it comes to autonomous vehicles, the push has been to replace drivers eventually, letting the car completely take over. However, the upshot of a recent presentation is that instead of unhooking the driver, a more realistic prospect is…
