“New research from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory uses machine learning to customize clothing designs. The oldest known knitting item dates back to Egypt in the Middle Ages, by way of a pair of carefully handcrafted socks. Although …
“Do-it-yourself bio and maker communities can help NASA meet needs of long-distance missions. As NASA gears up to send humans back to the moon or even to Mars, they’ll need to figure out how to keep these humans healthy …
“New research provides a look at how India could meet its climate targets while maintaining economic growth India’s economy is booming, driving up electric power consumption to unprecedented levels. The nation’s installed electricity capacity, which increased fivefold in …
“When designing actuators involves too many variables for humans to test by hand, this system can step in. An automated system developed by MIT researchers designs and 3-D prints complex robotic parts called actuators that are optimized according to an …
“Researchers develop a new microscopy system for creating maps of cells, using chemical reactions to encode spatial information. The following press release was issued today by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. A team of researchers at the McGovern …
“Self-assembling materials can form patterns that might be useful in optical devices. Self-assembling materials called block copolymers, which are known to form a variety of predictable, regular patterns, can now be made into much more complex patterns that may open …
“MIT researchers demonstrate a method to make a smaller, safer, and faster lithium-rich ceramic electrolyte. Researchers at MIT have come up with a new pulsed laser deposition technique to make thinner lithium electrolytes using less heat, promising faster charging and …
“Along with studying theory, “it’s also important to me that the work we are doing will help to solve real-world problems,” says LIDS student Omer Tanovic. Omer Tanovic, a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer …
“MIT, Singapore researchers show high-quality photonic device based on amorphous silicon carbide. Researchers at MIT and Singapore University of Technology (SUTD) have demonstrated a micro ring resonator made of amorphous silicon carbide with the highest quality factor to date. The …
“Material developed at MIT can passively capture solar heat for home heating or industrial applications. A newly developed material that is so perfectly transparent you can barely see it could unlock many new uses for solar heat. It generates much …
