With a tensor language prototype, “speed and correctness do not have to compete ... they can go together, hand-in-hand.”
Jonathan Weissman and collaborators used their single-cell sequencing tool Perturb-seq on every expressed gene in the human genome, linking each to its job in the cell.
The new substance is the result of a feat thought to be impossible: polymerizing a material in two dimensions.
The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say.
MIT researchers report early-stage clinical study results of tests with noninvasive 40-hertz light and sound treatment.
The new design works with the diaphragm to improve breathing.
Current measurements of black holes are not enough to nail down how the invisible giants form in the universe, researchers say.
A new optogenetics-based tool allows researchers to control how neurons respond to electrical input.
Health benefits of using wind energy instead of fossil fuels could quadruple if the most polluting power plants are selected for dialing down, new study finds.
Rubbing an aching body part can bring some relief. Neuroscientists at MIT's McGovern Institute are looking to find out why.
Researchers at the Center for Theoretical Physics lead work on testing quantum gravity on a quantum processor.
