“Engineers 3D print materials with networks of sensors directly incorporated. MIT researchers have developed a method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties, that sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment. The researchers create these sensing …
“The peptide is used by legumes to control nitrogen-fixing bacteria; it may also offer leads for treating patients with too much heme in their blood. Symbiotic relationships between legumes and the bacteria that grow in their roots are critical for …
“Researchers found that an understudied component of computer processors is susceptible to attacks from malicious agents. Then, they developed mitigation mechanisms. A component of computer processors that connects different parts of the chip can be exploited by malicious agents who …
“More complete than existing methods, the new approach might enable longer operational lifetimes for nuclear reactors. It was just a piece of junk sitting in the back of a lab at the MIT Nuclear Reactor facility, ready to be disposed …
“The technique opens a door to manufacturing of pressure-monitoring bandages, shade-shifting fabrics, or touch-sensing robots. Imagine stretching a piece of film to reveal a hidden message. Or checking an arm band’s color to gauge muscle mass. Or sporting a …
“Inspired by a fiddler crab eye, scientists developed an amphibious artificial vision system with a panoramic visual field. Giving our hardware sight has empowered a host of applications in self-driving cars, object detection, and crop monitoring. But unlike animals, synthetic …
“Algorithms designed to ensure multiple users share a network fairly can’t prevent some users from hogging all the bandwidth. When users want to send data over the internet faster than the network can handle, congestion can occur — the same …
“Researchers train a machine-learning model to monitor and adjust the 3D printing process to correct errors in real-time. Scientists and engineers are constantly developing new materials with unique properties that can be used for 3D printing, but figuring out how …
““Interpretability methods” seek to shed light on how machine-learning models make predictions, but researchers say to proceed with caution. About a decade ago, deep-learning models started achieving superhuman results on all sorts of tasks, from beating world-champion board game players …
“New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs. Ultrasound imaging is a safe and noninvasive window into the body’s workings, providing clinicians with live images of a patient’s internal organs. To capture …
