Los Angeles is finally going underground

Los Angeles is finally going underground

Los Angeles deserves its reputation as the quintessential car city—the rhythms of its 2,200 square miles are dictated by wide boulevards and concrete arcs of freeways. But it once had a world-class rail transit system, and for the last three decades, the city has been rebuilding a network of...

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...

Le « lore », ou la passion d’explorer des mondes imaginaires

Le « lore », ou la passion d’explorer des mondes imaginaires

Issu du genre de la fantasy et popularisé par les jeux vidéo, le mot désigne l’ensemble des caractéristiques d’un univers fictionnel. Devenu synonyme de « contexte » ou d’« arrière-plan » dans le langage courant, il signale notre appétence pour la compréhension de ce qui est caché.

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....

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...

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...

Artificial scientists

Artificial scientists

AI companies frequently invoke the possibility of AI-enabled scientific discovery as a justification for their existence: If the technology eventually cures cancer and solves climate change, then all the carbon emissions and slop videos will have been well worth it.  Already, LLMs can assist...

Agent orchestration

Agent orchestration

When people say AI will speed up drug development or fear that it will bring about mass layoffs, what they have in mind—whether they know it or not—are AI agents. ChatGPT made large language models a mass consumer product. But to change the world, AI needs to do more than just talk back: It needs...
