Unlocking Creativity: Napping and Dreaming Enhance Creative Performance

Artificial intelligence identifies anti-aging drug candidates targeting ‘zombie’ cells

AI-Discovered Meds Show Promise in Slowing Aging

A new study explains how California blackworms can twist and curl around each other by the thousands, forming tightly wound balls and then untangling just as quickly. Credits:Image: Harry Tuazon

How to untangle a worm ball: Mathematicians solve a knotty mystery

An ingestible capsule that delivers an electrical current can stimulate the release of the hormone ghrelin. Developed at MIT, the capsule could prove useful for treating diseases that involve nausea or loss of appetite, such as anorexia or cachexia. Credits:Image: Courtesy of the researchers

Ingestible “electroceutical” capsule stimulates hunger-regulating hormone

Inside the printer, a robotic arm injects ink into microneedle molds, and a vacuum chamber below the mold sucks the ink down to the bottom. Pictured is an example of the mold.

How to design neural networks optimally suited for certain tasks

At Lincoln Laboratory’s Defense Fabric Discovery Center, Erin Doran demonstrates how reflective fibers can be woven into textiles. Such fibers could function as indelible, scannable labels to easily sort fabrics for recycling.

Fiber “barcodes” can make clothing labels that last

The framework developed by the researchers accelerates training of a new, larger neural network model by using the weights in the neurons of an older, smaller model as building blocks. Their machine-learning approach learns to expand the width and depth of the larger model in a data-driven way. Credits: Image: Courtesy of the researchers, edited by MIT News

Learning to grow machine-learning models

A microfluidic device was designed to combine protein solution with nanoparticles and then form thousands of tiny, identical droplets. Inside each of these droplets, the proteins interact with the nanoparticles, which help them to form protein crystals. Credits:Credit: Courtesy of the researchers, colorized by MIT News

New purification method could make protein drugs cheaper

Custom, 3D-printed heart replicas are patient-specific and could help clinicians zero in on the best implant for an individual.

3D-printed hearts look and pump just like the real thing

MIT researchers found that massive neural network models that are similar to large language models are capable of containing smaller linear models inside their hidden layers, which the large models could train to complete a new task using simple learning algorithms.

How language models like ChatGPT learn new tasks from just a few examples

Researchers have come up with an innovative approach to building deformable underwater robots using simple repeating substructures. The team has demonstrated the new system in two different example configurations, one like an eel, pictured here in the MIT tow tank. Credits:Credit: Courtesy of the researchers
