Model could recreate video from motion-blurred images and “corner cameras,” may someday retrieve 3D data from 2D medical images. MIT researchers have developed a model…
Model from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory identifies “serial hijackers” of internet IP addresses. Hijacking IP addresses is an increasingly popular form of…
Something called the fast Fourier transform is running on your cell phone right now. The FFT, as it is known, is a signal-processing algorithm that…
Algorithm enables one audio signal to glide into another, recreating the “portamento” effect of some musical instruments. In music, “portamento” is a term that’s been…
PAXEL, a new type of photonic integrated circuit device that uses a novel computing architecture, shows promise for high-speed, energy-efficient computing. A group of researchers…
The study, published today in Advanced Theory and Simulations, shows that digital computers cannot reliably reproduce the behavior of ‘chaotic systems’ which are widespread. This…
Taking a cue from biological cells, researchers from MIT, Columbia University, and elsewhere have developed computationally simple robots that connect in large groups to move…
MIT researchers have developed a new cryptocurrency that drastically reduces the data users need to join the network and verify transactions — by up to…
A new approach to controlling magnetism in a microchip could open the doors to memory, computing, and sensing devices that consume drastically less power than…
Developed in the lab of Yale’s Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio, NASA-inspired robotic skins enable users to turn soft objects – a stuffed animal or a foam tube,…
