“Flexible platform could produce enigmatic materials, lead to new studies of exotic phenomena. In research that could jump-start interest into an enigmatic class of materials known as quasicrystals, MIT scientists and colleagues have discovered a relatively simple, flexible way to …
“MIT engineers develop a long, curved touch sensor that could enable a robot to grasp and manipulate objects in multiple ways. Imagine grasping a heavy object, like a pipe wrench, with one hand. You would likely grab the wrench using …
“Amid the race to make AI bigger and better, Lincoln Laboratory is developing ways to reduce power, train efficiently, and make energy use transparent. When searching for flights on Google, you may have noticed that each flight’s carbon-emission estimate …
“MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids salt-clogging issues of other designs. Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean …
“The advance brings quantum error correction a step closer to reality. In the future, quantum computers may be able to solve problems that are far too complex for today’s most powerful supercomputers. To realize this promise, quantum versions of …
“This technology for storing and transmitting quantum information over lossy links could provide the foundation for scalable quantum networking. The popular children’s game of telephone is based on a simple premise: The starting player whispers a message into the …
“With Style2Fab, makers can rapidly customize models of 3D-printable objects, such as assistive devices, without hampering their functionality. As 3D printers have become cheaper and more widely accessible, a rapidly growing community of novice makers are fabricating their own objects …
“Researchers use multiple AI models to collaborate, debate, and improve their reasoning abilities to advance the performance of LLMs while increasing accountability and factual accuracy. An age-old adage, often introduced to us during our formative years, is designed to nudge …
“MIT researchers develop a protocol to extend the life of quantum coherence. For years, researchers have tried various ways to coax quantum bits — or qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers — to remain in their quantum state for ever-longer …
“The system could be used for battery-free underwater communication across kilometer-scale distances, to aid monitoring of climate and coastal change. MIT researchers have demonstrated the first system for ultra-low-power underwater networking and communication, which can transmit signals across kilometer-scale distances …
