Putting clear bounds on uncertainty. Computer scientists want to know the exact limits in our ability to clean up, and reconstruct, partly blurred images.
Webb’s infrared camera peers through dust clouds, enabling discovery
A new study identifies cells that are the most vulnerable within a brain structure involved in mood and movement.
A new technique helps verify the accuracy of experiments that probe the strange behavior of atomic-scale systems.
A parasite believed to be present in more than 40 million people in the United States and often spread by domestic and wild cats could hamper ongoing conservation efforts in bighorn sheep.
Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, MIT researchers find information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of its connections.
Even without hunting rifles, humans appear to have a strong negative influence on the movement of wildlife. A study of Glacier National Park hiking trails during and after a COVID-19 closure adds evidence to the theory that humans can create a “landscape of fear” like other apex predators, changing how species use an area simply with their presence.
Biologists have mapped out more than 300 protein kinases and their targets, which they hope could yield new leads for cancer drugs.
The glittering, serpentine structures that power wearable electronics can be created with the same technology used to print rock concert t-shirts, new research shows.
More than 500 years ago in the midwestern Guatemalan highlands, Maya people bought and sold goods with far less oversight from their rulers than many archeologists previously thought.
A new understanding of how particle shape controls grain flow could help engineers manage river restoration and coastal erosion.
An unmanned semi-submersible vehicle developed at Washington State University may prove that the best way to travel in water undetected and efficiently is not on top, or below, but in-between.
Researchers have demonstrated directional photon emission, the first step toward extensible quantum interconnects.
A new method can produce a hundredfold increase in light emissions from a type of electron-photon coupling, which is key to electron microscopes and other technologies.
Built on recent advances in machine learning, the model predicts how well individuals will produce and comprehend sentences.
Groundbreaking research can help alleviate the challenges affiliated with studying carbohydrates.
Using this approach, researchers can map how light spreads in opaque environments.
MIT researchers are discovering which parts of the brain are engaged when a person evaluates a computer program.
Made from inexpensive, abundant materials, an aluminum-sulfur battery could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources.
Field experiment in Bangladesh shows the poor simply lack opportunities to gain wealth — but a one-time boost can make a major difference.
