Researchers from the University of Ottawa, in collaboration with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Bar-Ilan University scientists, have been able to create optical framed knots in the laboratory that could potentially be applied in modern technolo… Continue reading Researchers open the door to new distribution methods for secret cryptographic keys
Diamond is an effective electrical insulator, but that might not always be the case according to a new study from MIT and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore. The team has calculated that deforming diamond nano-needles would change their c… Continue reading “Metallizing” diamond could switch from insulator to conductor at will
One of the ways physicians can gain some forewarning of impending heart failure is through the detection of excess fluid in the lungs, and MIT researchers have developed a new machine learning tool that could offer them a helping hand. The algorithm is… Continue reading Machine learning tool scans lung X-rays to predict heart failure
Ultra wide-angle fisheye lenses are typically thick, bulbous contraptions, that can’t easily be incorporated into devices such as smartphones. That could be about to change, though, as engineers have now created one that’s completely flat.Continue Read… Continue reading High-tech material used to create a thin, flat fisheye lens
In order to track how someone’s body position changes as they sleep, they typically either have to be rigged up with stick-on sensors, or filmed by a video camera. MIT’s new BodyCompass system, however, offers a third alternative that many people may p… Continue reading Wireless system uses radio signals to monitor sleep positions

We’ve already heard about so-called “microneedle patches” that are used for the painless and sustained release of medication through the skin. Now, MIT scientists have adapted the technology for the detection of spoiled food.Continue ReadingCategory: S… Continue reading Microneedle patch changes color to indicate food spoilage
Caring for the elderly and vulnerable people while preserving their privacy and independence is a challenging proposition. Reaching a panic button or calling for help may not be possible in an emergency, but constant supervision or camera surveillance is often neither practical nor considerate. Researchers from MIT CSAIL have been …read more
There is more than one way to lead a successful life. Some people have all the opportunity in the world laid out before them, and it never does them any good. Others have little more than the determination and desire they’ve dredged up within themselves, and that grit turns out …read more
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists have created a cryptographic platform that allows companies to securely share data on cyber attacks they suffered and the monetary cost of their cybersecurity failures without worrying about reveal… Continue reading Which cybersecurity failures cost companies the most and which defenses have the highest ROI?
