As long as things stay the same, warehouse robots accurately pick and place for shipment without problems. However, change the process, and you must reprogram the robot and retrain the system. MIT researchers developed a training…

If a machine-learning model is biased, it may be impossible to remove this bias later. If, for example, an unbalanced dataset focuses on skin color, predictions will be both unfair and unreliable in the real world. MIT researchers have…

Picture multiple programs running on one computer. Since they share the same memory hardware – they are at risk for a “memory timing side-channel attack.” Delays are inherent when programs try to access a computer's memory because of shared…

MIT developed a programming language to describe and verify which pieces of data are entangled, preventing bugs in a quantum program. When qubits are entangled, action on one affects the other, also changing its value—even at a distance.…

MIT Researchers developed a weavable, rechargeable ultra-long fiber lithium-ion battery that may have a future in making 3D-printed batteries in any shape. The world’s longest flexible fiber battery, 140 meters long, was built to…

We’re all stressed, making it difficult to maintain a schedule for just about everything—including sleep. A new study finds that sleep, or the lack thereof, influences the way we walk or carry out activities that are assumed to be less…

Neuroscientists at MIT trained artificial neural network to take on a simple odor classification and the results were surprisingly accurate. Guangyu Robert Yang at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research led the work as a postdoc at…

The use of 3D printing across multiple manufacturing segments is creating greater demand for new 3D printing materials designed for very specific uses. This discovery, however, takes an inordinate amount of time. Researchers at MIT have…

Researchers at MIT, Boston University, and Maynooth University in Ireland created the first silicon chip able to decode any code with maximum accuracy, using a universal decoding algorithm called Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding…

MIT researchers are integrating sensing capabilities into 3D printable structures made of repetitive cells so that designers can rapidly prototype interactive input devices. The new method detects how force is applied to an object and since…
