Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed engineered bacteria that can perform computing functions using chemical signals, creating living circuits that could eventually ...

For most of computing history, information has moved through wires, as electrons pushed along a circuit by voltage. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now built a ...

For students preparing for competitive exams, a single setback can often feel like a defining moment—as though one result could determine the direction of their entire future. Missing out on a ...

Artificial intelligence-based search engine startup Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas's academic journey was a roller-coaster ride. However, he never gave up and instead used each disappointment as ...

For years, quantum was something most people encountered in documentaries, or late-night debates about Schrödinger’s cat. Today, it’s also becoming a career. Companies are hiring now, salaries are ...

Most successful scientists are optimists. They have to be, since the vast majority of experiments fail. In graduate school, I remember sitting in the lab at Rockefeller University in New York at 3 a.m ...

For decades, relaxor ferroelectrics have powered everything from medical ultrasounds to sonar systems, yet their inner atomic structure remained a mystery—until now. Researchers have finally mapped ...

Something strange happened at University of California campuses this fall. For the first time since the dot-com crash, computer science enrollment dropped. System-wide, it fell 6% last year after ...

In the 1970s, MIT researchers built a computer model to simulate the future of human civilization. It predicted that resource depletion, pollution, and population growth would converge around 2020, ...

MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum developed Eliza in the mid-1960s. His views on artificial intelligence were often at odds with many of his fellow pioneers in the field. Illustration by Meilan Solly / ...

AI success depends on whether enterprise data is ready, reachable, and close enough to the workloads that need it. In this eSpeaks episode, Dell Technologies’ Vrashank Jain explains why fragmented ...

MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy that’s five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at extreme temperatures. Machine learning helped them zero in on the ideal recipe in ...
