Caption: An MIT study finds that, for now, the catalog of known black hole binaries does not reveal anything fundamental about how black holes form.…
A newly published paper quantifies the extent to which automation has contributed to income inequality in the U.S., simply by replacing workers with technology —…
MIT researchers have identified components of mucus that can block cholera infections by interfering with the genes that cause the microbe to switch into a…
Solid-state lithium batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that uses a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one. They offer several advantages over traditional…
Collective discrimination refers to the discriminatory actions or attitudes of a group or society towards a particular group of people. This type of discrimination can…
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…
Researchers at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technique that allows machines to learn concepts shared between…

New research by MIT reveals how environment and state are integrated to control behavior. They looked, in detail, at the mechanisms that control the levels…
Scientists have shown they can extend the lifetime of a molecular qubit by changing the surrounding crystal’s structure to be less symmetrical. The asymmetry protects…
An MIT study shows that keeping indoor humidity at a sweet spot may reduce the spread of COVID-19. New research links very dry and very…
MIT scientists confirm that Earth harbors a “stabilizing feedback” mechanism that acts over hundreds of thousands of years to pull the climate back from the…
Illustration shows terahertz illumination (yellow curves at top right) entering the new camera system, where it stimulates quantum dots inside nanoscale holes (shown as illuminated…
Remembering directions someone just gave you is an example of working memory. In a new study, MIT researchers show that the brain’s focus on the…
The researchers found that people wearing masks were more likely to behave ethically. According to a recent Chinese study, wearing masks for health reasons makes individuals…
The study demonstrates that lignin has the potential to be used to create 100% sustainable aviation fuel. A collaboration between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory,…
MIT engineers have developed a general design tool for roboticists to use as a sort of automated recipe for success. Their optimization code can be…
MIT researchers used a technique called dot-plot matrix, which is a way to visually represent amino acid sequences, to compare protein sequences known as “low-complexity…
