Multiple programs running on the same computer may not be able to directly access each other’s hidden information. But because they share the same memory hardware, their secrets could be stolen by a malicious program through a “memory timing side-…
Accelerating the Discovery of New Materials for 3D PrintingA new machine-learning system costs less, wastes less, and can spur innovation
Tue, 12/14/2021 - 12:02
First published Oct. 15, 2021, on MIT News. The growing popularity of 3D printing for manufacturing all sorts of items, from customized medical devices to affordable homes, has created more demand for new 3D printing materials designed for very…
Making Data Visualizations More AccessibleResearchers find blind and sighted readers have sharply different takes on what content is most useful to include in a chart caption
Wed, 11/10/2021 - 12:02
In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention produced a simple chart to illustrate how measures like mask wearing and social distancing could “flatten the curve” and reduce the peak of infections. The…
Engineers Create 3D-Printed Objects That Sense How a User Is Interacting With ThemA designer could use this method to 3D print interactive input devices, like a joystick, switch, or handheld controller
Wed, 10/27/2021 - 12:01
MIT researchers have developed a new method to 3D print mechanisms that detect how force is being applied to an object. The structures are made from a single piece of material, so they can be rapidly prototyped. A designer could use this method to…
System Helps Humans Predict When Self-Driving Cars Will Make MistakesCW-Net translates the reasoning process of an autonomous vehicle’s AI system into understandable concepts that explain its behavior
Fri, 09/11/2026 - 12:49
Self-driving cars are often controlled by deep learning models that sometimes fail in unexpected situations. For instance, the car might inexplicably brake and block the path of an oncoming emergency vehicle. A human driver or passenger may need to…
New AI Technique Could Make Minimally Invasive Surgeries Safer and More PrecisePatient-specific method helps doctors use X-rays for surgical navigation in fields such as orthopedics and neurosurgery
Fri, 09/18/2026 - 12:39
(MIT News: Cambridge, MA) -- Researchers created a new technique that accurately and rapidly matches X-rays captured during surgery with a patient’s preoperative 3D medical scan. This method could make it easier for clinicians to precisely pilot…
