MIT

Researchers from MIT and Stanford University created a machine-learning method that can derive a controller for a robot, drone, or autonomous vehicle that is more effective at following a stable trajectory than other methods. This technique could help, for instance, a drone to closely follow a downhill skier despite being buffeted by strong winds. Credits:Image: MIT News, with figures from iStock

In a groundbreaking research paper co-authored by MIT economist Martin Beraja, it's revealed how China's escalated investments in AI-powered facial recognition technology serve a dual purpose: assisting the government in curbing dissent while simultaneously propelling technological advancements. This symbiotic scenario is termed as an "AI-Tocracy" by the authors of the paper. Image Credits: Jose-Luis Olivares/MIT with figures from iStock.

When some ultrathin materials undergo a “nematic transition,” their atomic lattice structure stretches in ways that unlock superconductivity (as this conceptual image shows). MIT physicists have identified how this essential nematic switch occurs in one class of superconductors.

:A new MIT-led study found that tailoring political ads based on one attribute of their intended audience — say, party affiliation — can be 70 percent more effective in swaying policy support than simply showing everyone the single ad that is expected to be most persuasive across the entire population.

MIT engineers developed a metal-free, Jell-O-like material that is as soft and tough as biological tissue and can conduct electricity similarly to conventional metals. The new material, which is a type of high-performance conducting polymer hydrogel, may one day replace metals in the electrodes of medical devices. Credits:Image: Felice Frankel
