Find the latest MIT news, research articles, and scientific breakthroughs. SciTechDaily publishes the latest science research and engineering advancements made at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts that was founded in 1861.
Scientists can use a combination of advanced machine learning and sequential sampling techniques to predict extreme events without the need for large data sets, according…
The ability of the adult brain to form new memories and absorb new information may be explained by these immature connections. MIT neuroscientists have found…
Researchers say that current measurements of black holes are insufficient to determine the formation process of these invisible giants in the universe. The way a…
A team of researchers has developed a new technique for producing ultrathin and lightweight solar cells that can be seamlessly integrated into any surface. Massachusetts…
Recent data suggests that the majority of the increase in the wage gap since 1980 can be attributed to automation replacing less-educated workers. When using…
Utilizing these protective molecules could potentially provide a new approach to managing the illness, which is transmitted through contaminated water. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute…
Solid-state lithium batteries are impacted by the growth of branchlike metallic filaments. A recent study delves into the formation of these filaments and provides a…
A research paper suggests that it is more effective to create environments that encourage the emergence of desired behavior through evolutionary dynamics, rather than simply…
Researchers develop tools to help data scientists make the features used in machine-learning models more understandable for end users. Explanation methods that help users understand…
A machine-learning model can identify the action in a video clip and label it, without the help of humans. Humans observe the world through a…
A jellyfish-like soft gripper simulates the mechanics of curly hair. You are aware of how difficult it is to grasp and hold onto items with…
A simple animal model shows how stimuli and states such as smells, stressors, and satiety converge in an olfactory neuron to guide food-seeking behavior. Imagine…
In a long-studied population of wandering albatrosses, females are less likely to stick with a shy mate. The wandering albatross is the poster bird for…
Stability in Asymmetry By breaking the symmetry of their environment, scientists demonstrate a new technique for extending the length of time qubits can retain information….
New research links very dry and very humid indoor environments with worse COVID-19 outcomes. We know proper indoor ventilation is key to reducing the spread…
Earth can regulate its own temperature over millennia, new research finds. Scientists have confirmed that a “stabilizing feedback” on 100,000-year timescales keeps global temperatures in…
A technique has been developed by researchers that could help fine-tune the production of monoclonal antibodies and other useful proteins. MIT researchers have developed a…
The new terahertz camera device provides greater sensitivity and speed than previous versions, and could be used for industrial inspection, airport security, and communications. Terahertz…
