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…

Malaysia's Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) will be the first commercial network in the world to apply Dynamic Radio Resource Partitioning enabling six mobile network operators (MNOs) to deliver customized 5G services with guaranteed…

Fitbit just recalled its Ionic smartwatch. It seems the lithium-ion battery can overheat and cause a burn. Take it off and contact Fitbit to receive pre-paid packaging to return it. Upon receipt, Fitbit will issue a refund of $299 plus a…

The University of Texas at Dallas and Oklahoma State University developed a new terahertz imager microchip that enables devices to detect and create images through obstacles including fog, smoke, dust, and snow. They are working to enable…

The few focused ultrasound devices for preclinical research are expensive, bulky, and lack the precision needed for small animal research. Hong Chen, associate professor of biomedical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering and…

Over the past decade, coherent optical transmission technology has been key to increasing the capacity of optical networks, and the most critical components of this transmission technology are the coherent optical modulators on the…

FIRGELLI developed what they claim is the world's smallest diameter microactuator with positional feedback control that controls positions to within 1 micron for such industry segments as robotics, automotive, industrial and medical. The…

Here’s the first-of-a-kind technology platform designed to empower stronger, more loving, and enduring relationships. Entrepreneur Tal Zlotnitsky created Our Love Company to bridge the gap between the science of effective loving and the…

In the U.S., we consider robotic surgery a positive step towards less risk, errors, and easier recoveries. There remains, however, negative perceptions of robot-assisted surgery because of the destruction of jobs, the price tag, and the…

When comparing differences in sounds that reach the right and left ear, the brain estimates the location of the source of that sound. MIT neuroscientists have now developed a computer model that can also perform that task. Consisting of…
