“MIT researchers find a new way to quantify the uncertainty in molecular energies predicted by neural networks. Neural networks (NNs) are increasingly being used to predict new materials, the rate and yield of chemical reactions, and drug-target interactions, among others …
“Wide Area Networks (WANs), the global backbones and workhorses of today’s Internet that connect billions of computers over continents and oceans, are the foundation of modern online services. As COVID-19 has placed a vital reliance on online services …
“At the MIT Edgerton Center, educators are quietly transforming the way biology is taught in schools. It’s a cloudy July afternoon in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and MIT Edgerton Center Instructor Amanda Mayer is using brightly-colored plastic to build proteins. She …
“In a study that could benefit quantum computing, researchers show a superlattice embedded with nanodots may be immune from dissipating energy to the environment. Scientists around the world are developing new hardware for quantum computers, a new type of device …
“As researchers consider materials for solid-state batteries, they also may want to consider how those materials could impact large-scale manufacturing. The urgent need to cut carbon emissions is prompting a rapid move toward electrified mobility and expanded deployment of solar …
“The results may help engineers develop a way to inject drugs without needles. Squirting a jet of water through a drop of liquid may sound like idle fun, but if done precisely, and understood thoroughly, the splashy exercise could help …
“Prosthetic enables a wide range of daily activities, such as zipping a suitcase, shaking hands, and petting a cat. For the more than 5 million people in the world who have undergone an upper-limb amputation, prosthetics have come a long …
“System uses tiny magnetic beads to rapidly measure the position of muscles and relay that information to a bionic prosthesis. For people with amputation who have prosthetic limbs, one of the greatest challenges is controlling the prosthesis so that it …
““SensiCut,” a smart material-sensing platform for laser cutters, can differentiate between 30 materials commonly found in makerspaces and workshops. With the addition of computers, laser cutters have rapidly become a relatively simple and powerful tool, with software controlling shiny machinery …
“New algorithm could enable fast, nimble drones for time-critical operations such as search and rescue. If you follow autonomous drone racing, you likely remember the crashes as much as the wins. In drone racing, teams compete to see which vehicle …
