Indian Researchers Develop Energy-Efficient Method to Create Glass, Could Improve Efficiency of Data Centres
Scientists from IISc, University of Pennsylvania, and MIT reveal a breakthrough with indium selenide that transforms crystalline structures to glass using significantly less energy. By passing a continuous electric current, the crystalline material experiences a “shock” that converts it to glass. The low energy requirement could help lower powe...

Research Shows What Happens to Your Brain When You Watch a Movie
Neuroscientists have mapped brain activity in people watching movies, showing how different networks respond to scenes involving people, objects, and action. Complex scenes activated brain regions linked to executive functions like problem-solving, while simpler dialogues primarily engaged language processing areas. The study, based on data from th...

World's Largest Ocean Predator-Prey Marine Event Captured Off Norway's Coast
In a first-of-its-kind discovery, MIT scientists observed a massive predator-prey event in Norway, where millions of cod pursued spawning capelin. The event highlights the critical role of capelin in the marine food chain, providing sustenance for predatory fish like Atlantic cod. However, as Arctic ice retreats due to climate change, capelin face ...

Researchers Develop Cell-Level Wearable Devices to Restore Neuron Function
Scientists at MIT have developed groundbreaking cell-wearable devices that mimic natural myelin to treat neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis. These micro-scale devices wrap around neurons and restore disrupted electrical signalling. They are battery-free and activated by light, allowing for non-invasive monitoring and modulation of neuro...

MIT Unveils Novel Method of Training General-Purpose Robots Using Generative AI Techniques
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) unveiled a new method to train robots last week that uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. The new technique relies on combining data across different domains and modalities and combining them together in a shared language which can then be processed by large language models (LLMs).

MIT's AXIS Mission Advances in NASA’s Astrophysics Probe Competition
The MIT-led AXIS mission, a finalist in NASA's Probe Explorers competition, is set to investigate the origins of black holes and the universe's high-energy events. Featuring advanced X-ray technology, AXIS will push cosmic boundaries in search of answers to some of astrophysics' most profound questions. If approved, the $1 billion mission will revo...

MIT Advances Active Electronics With 3D-Printed, Semiconductor-Free Logic Gates
MIT researchers have created 3D-printed logic gates that perform switching functions without semiconductors. This development could lead to more accessible electronics manufacturing, allowing devices to be printed outside traditional facilities. Though not yet comparable to silicon-based components, these printed devices are a significant step towa...

AI Chatbots Proven to Reduce Belief in Conspiracy Theories by 20%, MIT Research Reveals
New research from MIT Sloan and Cornell University reveals that AI chatbots can reduce belief in conspiracy theories by around 20%. The study involved conversations with GPT-4 Turbo, which helped participants reassess their beliefs. The chatbots were tailored to counter specific conspiracy theories effectively. Despite a high rate of factual accura...

Meteorite Impacts Not Solar Wind Are Key to Moon’s Atmosphere, New Research Shows
A new study led by MIT's Nicole Nie has determined that meteorite impacts are the main source of the moon’s atmosphere, with impact vaporization accounting for 70% of the exosphere. Solar wind contributes the remaining 30%. This research, using Apollo lunar soil samples, offers a significant update on how the moon’s atmosphere is sustained.
