At the current rate of robotics development, you might assume that we’re close to Skynet taking over. However, while we likely wouldn’t do well in a physical fight against a …read more Continue reading Fibrous Muscles for Humanoid Robotics

Probing how a CPU isolates user code from kernel code is messy work. Researchers patch kernels, write drivers, or boot stripped-down bare-metal programs, and any of those choices change variables they were trying to hold still. Fractal, a new operating… Continue reading Meet Fractal, an OS made for microarchitecture reverse engineering
Enterprise AI deployments have shifted from pilot programs to production systems handling customer data, executing business transactions, and integrating with core infrastructure. That has exposed a significant gap between what AI agents can do and wha… Continue reading AI went from assistant to autonomous actor and security never caught up
AI chatbots may deliver unequal answers depending on who is asking the question. A new study from the MIT Center for Constructive Communication finds that LLMs provide less accurate information, increase refusal rates, and sometimes adopt a different t… Continue reading LLMs change their answers based on who’s asking
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
