Germicidal UV lights could be producing indoor air pollutants, study finds

MIT neuroscientists have found that computational models of hearing and vision can build up their own idiosyncratic “invariances” — meaning that they respond the same way to stimuli with very different features.

Study: Deep neural networks don’t see the world the way we do

In a C. elegans worm the neuron HSN has a critical role in directing several coordinated behaviors. This image labels HSN in green, showing its extension all the way to the worm's head (labeled in red).

Single neuron can coordinate many aspects of behavior

Researchers uncovered how carbon dioxide can be both captured and converted through a single electrochemical process in which an electrode, like the one pictured covered in bubbles, is used to attract carbon dioxide released from a sorbent and convert it into carbon neutral products.

Picower Institute researchers discovered that a molecule called A11 combats inflammation in the brain amid Alzheimer's disease. For example, A11-treated Alzheimer's model mice (right) showed much less tau protein (green staining), a hallmark of disease pathology, than untreated controls (left).

In one design of the new superconducting device, the diode consists of a ferromagnetic strip (pink) atop a superconducting thin film (grey). The team also identified the key factors behind the resulting current that travels in only one direction with no resistance. Credits:Image courtesy of A. Varambally, Y-S. Hou, and H. Chi.
