Researchers identify a property that helps computer vision models learn to represent the visual world in a more stable, predictable way.
MIT engineers’ new technique analyzes the 3D organization of the genome at a resolution 100 times higher than before.
Earth will meet a similar fate in 5 billion years.
California blackworms tangle themselves up by the thousands, then separate in a split second. Their trick may inspire the design of self-detangling materials and fibers.
PhD student Rishabh Datta seeks to further understanding of astrophysical phenomena.
Using ultrasonic waves that propel drug molecules into the skin, the patch could be used to treat a variety of skin conditions.
These highly stable metal-organic frameworks could be useful for applications such as capturing greenhouse gases.
“DribbleBot” can maneuver a soccer ball on landscapes such as sand, gravel, mud, and snow, using reinforcement learning to adapt to varying ball dynamics.
With the right building blocks, machine-learning models can more accurately perform tasks like fraud detection or spam filtering.
Fake seeds can cost farmers more than two-thirds of expected crop yields and threaten food security. Trackable silk labels could help.
The teams will work toward sustainable microchips and topological materials as well as socioresilient materials design.
New repair techniques enable microscale robots to recover flight performance after suffering severe damage to the artificial muscles that power their wings.
Robotic parts could be assembled into nimble spider bots for exploring lava tubes or heavy-duty elephant bots for transporting solar panels.
Researchers used machine learning to build faster and more efficient hash functions, which are a key component of databases.
