Three Duke University sophomores converted small chunks of frozen bird flesh into tubes of purified DNA that was then sent to China for full-genome sequencing. Their work was a part of the Avian Phylogenomics Project, an international scientific effort that compared the whole genomes of 48 bird…
Duke University | 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 TechnologyPeople younger than age 40 who have high blood pressure are at increased risk of heart failure, strokes and blood vessel blockages as they age, according to a study in JAMA led by a Duke Health researcher.
University Research | Duke UniversityMIT 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 TechnologyThe World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are 4 million deaths each year from illnesses attributable to household air pollution. Chronic lung and heart diseases particularly affect the women and children who stay inside, tending the house. In fact, WHO reports that air pollution from…
Massachusetts Institute of Technology | MIT researchers are reproducing paintings using a new system that combines 3-D printing and deep learning.
