Collaborate Disseminate
Most robots depend on controlled environments, because the real world is hard to get around in. The smaller the robot, the bigger this problem because little wheels (or legs) can …read more Continue reading Tiny Pogo Robot Gets Wings, Does Flips
When you think of attacking or defending computer systems, you probably think of software viruses and the corresponding anti-virus software. But MIT’s 6.5950 class teaches secure hardware design — how …read more Continue reading MIT Wants You to Secure Your Hardware Designs
Although brain-implanted electrodes do help minimize the effects of Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders, implanting and activating those electrodes can be a tricky process. That’s why scientists are now developing an alternative, in the form of tiny injectable magnetic discs.

Researchers at MIT have unexpectedly stumbled upon a way to 3D print active electronics – meaning transistors and components for controlling electrical signals – without the use of semiconductors or even special fabrication technology.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading New tech enables 3D printing electronics without semiconductors
Ordinarily, the 3D printing of multi-colored, multi-textured objects is a relatively complex and inefficient process. That could soon change, however, thanks to a clever new technique in which a temperature-sensitive print media gets “ironed” after bei… Continue reading Novel “ironing” tech gets multiple qualities out of one 3D-printed material
Deep-learning models have found applications across various industries, from healthcare diagnostics to financial forecasting. However, their high computational demands often require powerful cloud-based servers. This dependency on cloud computing raise… Continue reading New MIT protocol protects sensitive data during cloud-based computation
Data privacy has become one of the most pressing challenges of our time, but it didn’t happen overnight. The proliferation of data collection, coupled with the rise of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, has m… Continue reading Rethinking privacy: A tech expert’s perspective
Using a 3D printer that works with molten glass, researchers forged LEGO-like glass bricks with a strength comparable to concrete. The bricks could have a role in circular construction in which materials are used over and over again.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading ‘Brain-breaking’ glass bricks are 3D printed, reusable, and strong
MIT scientists have coaxed atoms into an exotic “edge state” for the first time, allowing them to flow completely friction-free. The breakthrough could lead to better superconductor materials.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Particle phy… Continue reading Superconductivity breakthrough: ‘Edge state’ atoms flow friction-free
