Inspired by the human ear, a new acoustic fabric converts audible sounds into electrical signals.

An MIT team develops 3D-printed tags to classify and store data on physical objects.

If virtual characters can be as smart as humans, having free will, can we kill or harm them?

It’s easy for researchers to fall back on using test subjects from the communities around them – students and employees. Branching out is key to avoiding technology that fails certain populations.

Using a form of artificial intelligence called deep neural networks, researchers can generate new proteins from scratch without having to consult nature.

“Evolution Gym” is a large-scale benchmark for co-optimizing the design and control of soft robots that takes inspiration from nature and evolutionary processes.

New research has found that low-rise urban environments are more space and carbon efficient than high-rise buildings which have a drastically higher carbon impact.

Every cancer is different. Grouping cancer mutations by their structure and function could help make treatments more personalized.

“Robotic” textiles could help performers and athletes train their breathing, and potentially help patients recovering from postsurgery breathing changes.

Researchers used an old theory on vibrating plane wings to study how fish swim so well. They were able to double the swimming efficiency of their robotic fish over a range of speeds.
