Un YouTubeur a peut-être conçu la serrure la plus dure à crocheter qui existe

Un YouTubeur a peut-être conçu la serrure la plus dure à crocheter qui existe

La chaîne YouTube Works By Design vient de sortir un projet qui fait pas mal jaser chez les passionnés de crochetage : une serrure dont le cylindre se met littéralement en position fermée après que la clé ait été tournée, rendant l'accès aux goupilles quasi impossible pour n'importe quel individu...

Inventor recalls eye imaging breakthrough

Inventor recalls eye imaging breakthrough

If you’ve been to an eye doctor and had an image taken of the inside of your eye, chances are good it was done with optical coherence tomography (OCT)—a technology invented by clinician-scientist David Huang ’85, SM ’89, PhD ’93, and now used in 40 million procedures per year.  OCT is a...

AI at MIT

AI at MIT

At MIT, AI has become so pervasive that you can almost find your way into it without meaning to. Take Sili Deng, an associate professor of mechanical engineering. Deng says she still doesn’t know whether she’d have gone all in on artificial intelligence had it not been for the covid pandemic....

Get ready for hotter, muggier, stormier summers

Get ready for hotter, muggier, stormier summers

A long stretch of humid heat followed by a powerful thunderstorm is a familiar weather pattern in the tropics, but it’s also becoming more common in midlatitude regions such as the US Midwest. A recent study by two MIT scientists identifies a key atmospheric condition that determines how hot,...

Analog computing from waste heat

Analog computing from waste heat

Heat generated by electronic devices is usually a problem, but a team led by Giuseppe Romano, a research scientist at MIT’s Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies, has found a way to use it for data processing that doesn’t rely on electricity. In this analog computing method, input data is encoded...

Early life may have breathed oxygen earlier than believed

Early life may have breathed oxygen earlier than believed

Around 2.3 billion years ago, a pivotal period known as the Great Oxidation Event set the evolutionary course for oxygen-breathing life on Earth. But MIT geobiologists and colleagues have found evidence that some early forms of life evolved the ability to use oxygen hundreds of millions of years...

A natural protein may protect the GI tract from infection

A natural protein may protect the GI tract from infection

Embedded in the body’s mucosal surfaces, proteins called lectins bind to sugars found on cell surfaces. A team led by MIT chemistry professor Laura Kiessling has found that one such protein, intelectin-2, both helps fortify the mucosal barrier and offers broad-spectrum protection against harmful...

The new word in home construction could be “plastics”

The new word in home construction could be “plastics”

Single-use plastics are a persistent source of environmental pollution, and the need to house a growing global population puts increasing pressure on resources such as timber. MIT engineers have an idea that could make a dent in both problems at once. In a recent study, a team led by mechanical...
