Back in 1999, Erik Demaine was a PhD student who created an algorithm that determined the folding patterns necessary to turn a piece of paper into any 3D shape. However, the algorithm was far from ...

A new system developed by MIT researchers called "MosAIc" is finding hard-to-spot similarities between art pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum. MosAIc scans an image, ...

Have you ever seen (or eaten) a delicious meal and wished you had the recipe to make it? Now all you have to do is take a picture and give it to an algorithm developed by MIT's Computer Science and ...

Employers are increasingly automating recruiting processes during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to sources who previously spoke to HR Dive. Virtual skill assessments, screening tools, on-demand ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

A deep learning algorithm developed at MIT has discovered new antibiotics that can treat drug-resistant diseases by killing 35 powerful bacteria. In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) named it ...

Scroll through Twitter and you’ll find plenty of sarcastic comments—not to mention lots of cases where sarcasm apparently went straight over someone’s head. Luckily, an algorithm MIT researchers ...

When we say that Erik Demaine has spent the best part of the past two decades folding paper into funny shapes, it’s a bit more impressive than it sounds. In fact, as an 18-year-old Ph.D. student (yes, ...

Of the multitude of assistive and autonomous driving technologies in existence, one of the best known and widely used is that that governs lane changing. Featured on dozens of models of all makes and ...

Drone racing is a relatively new sport, with drones racing around a track with obstacles the drones are required to avoid as quickly as possible. While drone racing is purely for fun, the technology ...

Consider a group of drones that have to constantly exchange information on their position in order to avoid colliding with one another. Or a smart car that needs up-to-the-millisecond sensor data to ...
