Although some people may like a good frothy head on their beer, the foaming of liquids is considered problematic in many fields. A new MIT-designed material could help, as it keeps such foam from forming.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags… Continue reading “Aerophilic” surface minimizes foam by absorbing bubbles
Astronomers have taken the clearest-ever shots of asteroid Pallas, a large rock orbiting out beyond Mars. The new images revealed the surface of this tiny world to be heavily dotted with craters, to the point where it’s been dubbed the “golf ball aster… Continue reading New images reveal “golf ball asteroid” has seen its share of hits
It’s one of life’s most frustrating ironies that Earth’s surface is over 70 percent water, but most of that is undrinkable. Desalination is an important technology that may help unlock more drinking water, and now two independent teams have developed n… Continue reading Solar-powered desalination systems could bring water to disaster zones
Dealing with an antenna is one of those topics we never feel like we know enough about. MIT had a live stream of [Dr. Kiersten Kerby-Patel] discussing antennas in a talk, sponsored by the ham radio club on campus. You can see the recording below.
The main assertion of the …read more

Deepfake Detection Challenge aims to spur creation of technology to combat AI used for creating altered videos that intentionally mislead viewers. Continue reading Facebook, Microsoft Challenge Industry to Detect, Prevent ‘Deepfakes’
For continuously gathering information on ocean conditions, one thing that’s been proposed is a network of sensors that would transmit data from the sea floor. Changing their batteries, however, could be quite challenging. That’s where a new … Continue reading Undersea sensor is powered by sound waves from the surface
There are few topics as hot right now in the enterprise as customer experience management, that ability to collect detailed data about your customers, then deliver customized experiences based on what you have learned about them. To help understand the challenges companies face building this kind of experience, we are bringing Segment CEO Peter Reinhardt […] Continue reading Segment CEO Peter Reinhardt is coming to TechCrunch Sessions: Enterprise to discuss customer experience management
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered a set of three worlds orbiting a peaceful star located a mere 73 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Pictor. The exoplanets, which are among the smallest and closes… Continue reading Exoplanet-hunting telescope discovers three new alien worlds with big scientific potential
Hurricanes and water go hand in hand – they form over oceans, use warm moist air as an energy source, and are known to dump huge amounts of rain onto areas in their path. But researchers from Purdue University and MIT have now made a surprisi… Continue reading Alien hurricanes could rage on other planets under conditions completely different to Earth
