“Just 33 light-years from Earth, the system appears to host two rocky, Earth-sized planets. Astronomers at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a new multiplanet system within our galactic neighborhood that lies just 10 parsecs, or about 33 light-years, from Earth …
“The varied surface suggests a dynamic history, which could include metallic eruptions, asteroid-shaking impacts, and a lost rocky mantle. Later this year, NASA is set to launch a probe the size of a tennis court to the asteroid belt, a …
“CSAIL scientists’ novel hardware attack against the Apple M1 chip defeats the last line of security while leaving no trace. William Shakespeare might have been talking about Apple’s recently released M1 chip via his prose in “A Midsummer Night …
“With modular components and an easy-to-use 3D interface, this interactive design pipeline enables anyone to create their own customized robotic hand. MIT researchers have created an interactive design pipeline that streamlines and simplifies the process of crafting a customized robotic …
“Researchers developed a new system that can make computer programs run faster, while guaranteeing accuracy. Researchers have pioneered a technique that can dramatically accelerate certain types of computer programs automatically, while ensuring program results remain accurate. Their system boosts the …
“Studying a powerful type of cyberattack, researchers identified a flaw in how it’s been analyzed before, then developed new techniques that stop it in its tracks. Malicious agents can use machine learning to launch powerful attacks that steal information …
“The advance allows the particles to be placed deeper within biological tissue, which could aid with cancer diagnosis or monitoring. Fluorescent sensors, which can be used to label and image a wide variety of molecules, offer a unique glimpse inside …
“Study shows what happens when crystalline grains in metals reform at nanometer scales, improving metal properties. Forming metal into the shapes needed for various purposes can be done in many ways, including casting, machining, rolling, and forging. These processes affect …
“A new technique can safely guide an autonomous robot without knowledge of its environmental conditions or the size, shape, or location of obstacles it might encounter. An autonomous spacecraft exploring the far-flung regions of the universe descends through the atmosphere …
“Searchable tool reveals more than 90,000 known materials with electronic properties that remain unperturbed in the face of disruption. What will it take to make our electronics smarter, faster, and more resilient? One idea is to build them from …
