A new MIT study proposes that laser technology on Earth could be fashioned into something of a planetary porch light — a beacon strong enough to attract extraterrestrial intelligence from as far as 20,000 light years away.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever airplane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” that is produced aboard the plane.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT researchers have developed a neural-network model that can analyze raw text and audio data from interviews to discover speech patterns indicative of depression.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT’s Cheetah 3 robot can climb stairs and step over obstacles without the help of cameras or visual sensors.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT researchers report that they have found a way to break spaghetti in two, by both bending and twisting the dry noodles. The researchers say the results may have applications beyond culinary curiosities.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT researchers are reproducing paintings using a new system that combines 3-D printing and deep learning.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT engineers have designed an ingestible, Jell-O-like pill that, upon reaching the stomach, quickly swells to the size of a soft, squishy ping-pong ball big enough to stay in the stomach for an extended period of time.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT engineers have developed a robot to play a slow-moving, yet surprisingly agile game of Jenga. Machine-learning approach could help robots assemble cellphones and other small parts in a manufacturing line.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT’s new mini cheetah robot is springy and light on its feet, with a range of motion that rivals a champion gymnast.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyAn MIT-led research team has developed a drug capsule that could be used to deliver oral doses of insulin, potentially replacing the injections that people with type 2 diabetes have to give themselves every day.
