Space looks like the ultimate free-for-all: no borders, no fences, no neighbours complaining if you float a bit too close. [… ...

MIT researchers have built a "speech-to-reality" system that uses AI and robotics so that users can verbally request an object, which is then made in a matter of minutes. The team said the project ...

Generative AI and robotics are moving us ever closer to the day when we can ask for an object and have it created within a few minutes. In fact, MIT researchers have developed a speech-to-reality ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today's physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending ...

Summary: A new study demonstrates that some highly gifted dogs can categorize objects not just by appearance, but by how they are used. When taught words like “pull” or “fetch,” these dogs later ...

Astronomers have been fascinated after spotting an object earlier this year that came from interstellar space as is now hurtling through our inner solar system. Regardless, it’s an interesting visitor ...

Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers. Sabrina Corsetti, a PhD candidate at MIT, and her collaborators in ...

abstract. Each day, the news brings stories of military attacks on schools, hospitals, apartment buildings, electrical facilities, and other critical civilian infrastructure. The militaries attacking ...

Abstract: Accurately determining the shape of deformable objects and the location of their internal structures is crucial for medical tasks that require precise targeting, such as robotic biopsies. We ...

A metamaterial is a composite material that exhibits unique properties due to its structure, and now researchers have used one featuring a small sawtooth pattern on its surface to move and position ...
