“In astrophysics, we have only this one universe which we can observe,” Mark Vogelsberger, an MIT physics professor, says. “With a computer, we can create…
Ultrastable and made of inexpensive, nontoxic elements, chalcogenide perovskites could find applications in solar cells, lighting, and more. MIT engineers report creating the first high-quality…
Comparison of four oxidation-based cleaners suggests the devices produce their own pollutants and vary in effectiveness. Consumer-grade air cleaners that promise to reduce indoor levels…
Alumna-founded Aavia uses education, community, and technology to change the way people think about hormones. Half the population lives with monthly ovarian hormone cycles. Those…
The findings may help explain why some people who lead enriching lives are less prone to Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia. Many people develop Alzheimer’s or…
A new machine-learning system helps robots understand and perform certain social interactions. Robots can deliver food on a college campus and hit a hole-in-one on…
A screening method developed by MIT researchers targets hydrogen peroxide in the search for new cancer therapeutics. MIT chemical engineers have developed a way of…
Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain. In the past few years, artificial intelligence models…
