There may be new hope for people with noisy neighbors. Scientists at MIT have developed a method of using thin sheets of fabric to either cancel or block sound – in the latter case, the racket even gets reflected back to its maker.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Special silk sheets suppress sound by giving off good vibrations
We all know that water evaporates when the temperature climbs, but researchers have just shown that there’s another factor at play. The breakthrough could solve long-standing atmospheric mysteries and lead to future technological advances.Continue Read… Continue reading Think you understand evaporation? Think again, says MIT
Institutions featured on this list often provide undergraduate and graduate degrees, courses, as well as certificate programs tailored to meet the growing demand for cybersecurity professionals in various industries. Some notable colleges and universit… Continue reading 10 colleges and universities shaping the future of cybersecurity education
Specially tagged “sentinel plants” could soon provide an early warning of crop problems such as insect damage or bacterial infection. These plants would utilize two “glowing” sensors that react to stress-related compounds in the leaves.Continue Reading… Continue reading “Sentinel plants” could save crops via stress sensors in leaves
The tracking of squid and other soft-bodied sea creatures may soon be a lot more doable, thanks to a new bioadhesive interface. It’s claimed to be much gentler than current attachment methods, while still remaining up to the task.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Soft n’ supple adhesive gel makes for gentler tracking of squids

A recently developed system could revolutionize the world of 3D printing, by streamlining the adoption of new print media. Such materials could include ones made from all-renewable ingredients, or that are more recyclable than current options.Continue … Continue reading Smart 3D printer tunes itself to build with unfamiliar materials
Venus may be a hellscape by our standards, but there’s a chance that some forms of life could evolve there. A new MIT study has now found that the building blocks of life are surprisingly stable in highly concentrated sulfuric acid – which Venus’ cloud… Continue reading Sulfuric acid clouds of Venus can’t dissolve life, new experiments find
If you or someone you know has gone through chemotherapy, you might be familiar with the side effect commonly called ‘chemo brain.’ Scientists have now demonstrated a simple way to protect brain cells from damage using flashing lights and sounds at a certain frequency.

Custom-fit clothing is usually quite expensive, but perhaps it doesn’t have to be. MIT’s 4D Knit Dress is an example of a new type of clothing that a robot could selectively shrink to fit the wearer, perhaps right in the store.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Video: Heat-gun-toting robot could create bespoke clothing on the cheap
