“By synchronizing media streams transmitted from the cloud to two devices, researchers could improve cloud gaming and AR/VR applications. Cloud gaming, which involves playing a video game remotely from the cloud, witnessed unprecedented growth during the lockdowns and gaming …
“With a new technique, a robot can reason efficiently about moving objects using more than just its fingertips. Imagine you want to carry a large, heavy box up a flight of stairs. You might spread your fingers out and lift …
News Machine-learning system based on light could yield more powerful, efficient large language models
“MIT system demonstrates greater than 100-fold improvement in energy efficiency and a 25-fold improvement in compute density compared with current systems. ChatGPT has made headlines around the world with its ability to write essays, email, and computer code based on …
“Produced with techniques borrowed from Japanese paper-cutting, the strong metal lattices are lighter than cork and have customizable mechanical properties. Cellular solids are materials composed of many cells that have been packed together, such as a honeycomb. The shape of …
“With this new approach, a tailsitter aircraft, ideal for search-and-rescue missions, can plan and execute complex, high-speed acrobatic maneuvers. A tailsitter is a fixed-wing aircraft that takes off and lands vertically (it sits on its tail on the landing pad …
“A new study finds system deployment processes have been slow to improve over time — but must be addressed to lower clean energy costs in the future. To continue reducing the costs of solar energy and other clean energy technologies, scientists …
“MIT engineers developed a new way to create these arrays, by scaffolding quantum rods onto patterned DNA. Flat screen TVs that incorporate quantum dots are now commercially available, but it has been more difficult to create arrays of their elongated …
“Developed by MIT researchers, BrightMarkers are invisible fluorescent tags embedded in physical objects to enhance motion tracking, virtual reality, and object detection. Stop me if you’ve seen this before: a black and white pixelated square in lieu of a …
News Simple superconducting device could dramatically cut energy use in computing, other applications
“The ultrasmall “switch” could be easily scaled. MIT scientists and their colleagues have created a simple superconducting device that could transfer current through electronic devices much more efficiently than is possible today. As a result, the new diode, a kind …
“Researchers develop a machine-learning technique that can efficiently learn to control a robot, leading to better performance with fewer data. Researchers from MIT and Stanford University have devised a new machine-learning approach that could be used to control a robot …
