We're much better at following weather patterns today than a couple hundred years ago, but we're still relatively green when predicting extreme weather. Today's community-specific extreme weather ...

Have you ever seen (or eaten) a delicious meal and wished you had the recipe to make it? Now all you have to do is take a picture and give it to an algorithm developed by MIT's Computer Science and ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

Back in 1999, Erik Demaine was a PhD student who created an algorithm that determined the folding patterns necessary to turn a piece of paper into any 3D shape. However, the algorithm was far from ...

In March 2004, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) organized a special Grand Challenge event to test out the promise — or lack thereof — of current-generation self-driving cars.

A new system developed by MIT researchers called "MosAIc" is finding hard-to-spot similarities between art pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum. MosAIc scans an image, ...

Self-driving cars are often thought of as superior to human drivers, but humans may still be able to teach the machines a thing or two. Autonomous cars aren’t particularly good at executing lane ...

When we say that Erik Demaine has spent the best part of the past two decades folding paper into funny shapes, it’s a bit more impressive than it sounds. In fact, as an 18-year-old Ph.D. student (yes, ...

Employers are increasingly automating recruiting processes during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to sources who previously spoke to HR Dive. Virtual skill assessments, screening tools, on-demand ...

A deep learning algorithm developed at MIT has discovered new antibiotics that can treat drug-resistant diseases by killing 35 powerful bacteria. In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) named it ...

Scientists are making progress on neural devices that can translate the thoughts of a paralyzed person into driving action for a prosthetic device. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...
