Researchers create the first artificial vision system for both land and water
Inspired by a fiddler crab eye, scientists developed an amphibious artificial vision system with a panoramic visual field.
Researchers discover major roadblock in alleviating network congestion
Algorithms designed to ensure multiple users share a network fairly can’t prevent some users from hogging all the bandwidth.
A better way to quantify radiation damage in materials
More complete than existing methods, the new approach might enable longer operational lifetimes for nuclear reactors.
New algorithm aces university math course questions
Researchers use machine learning to automatically solve, explain, and generate university-level math problems at a human level.
Why it’s a problem that pulse oximeters don’t work as well on patients of color
New research ties inaccuracies in pulse oximeter readings to racial disparities in treatment and outcomes.
Using artificial intelligence to control digital manufacturing
Researchers train a machine-learning model to monitor and adjust the 3D printing process to correct errors in real-time.
Engineers repurpose 19th-century photography technique to make stretchy, color-changing films
The technique opens a door to manufacturing of pressure-monitoring bandages, shade-shifting fabrics, or touch-sensing robots.
New hardware offers faster computation for artificial intelligence, with much less energy
Engineers working on “analog deep learning” have found a way to propel protons through solids at unprecedented speeds.
MIT engineers develop stickers that can see inside the body
New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.
