New research suggests "that humans are equipped from the get-go to think about whether things are possible or unlikely or just can't happen."

New research shows that a grasp of grammar helps even very young children figure out when they must acquire new words.

MIT CSAIL researchers used AI-generated images to train a robot dog in parkour, without real-world data. Their LucidSim system demonstrates generative AI's potential for creating robotics training data.

New research debunks the popular idea that children are quicker at picking up new motor skills than adults.

An AI method developed by Professor Markus Buehler finds hidden links between science and art to suggest novel materials.

"This discovery opens new doors for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory problems."

By sidestepping the need for costly interventions, a new method could potentially reveal gene regulatory programs, paving the way for targeted treatments.

A new design tool uses UV and RGB lights to change the color and textures of everyday objects. The system could enable surfaces to display dynamic patterns, such as health data and fashion designs.

Researchers show that even the best-performing large language models don’t form a true model of the world and its rules, and can thus fail unexpectedly on similar tasks.

MIT pK-12 at Open Learning co-created a secondary school learning architecture that’s available for adoption and adaptation by educational practitioners worldwide.
