Developed by MIT researchers, BrightMarkers are invisible fluorescent tags embedded in physical objects to enhance motion tracking, virtual reality, and object detection.

Made of cement, carbon black, and water, the device could provide cheap and scalable energy storage for renewable energy sources.

Researchers develop a machine-learning technique that can efficiently learn to control a robot, leading to better performance with fewer data.

Asking users the dollar value of the costs and benefits of walking in exoskeletons is a better way of finding out how users feel about them than measuring calories saved.

BioAutoMATED, an open-source, automated machine-learning platform, aims to help democratize artificial intelligence for research labs.

You can squash small bugs by stepping on them, but can you crush even tinier microorganisms like viruses and bacteria? It turns out that you’d need to apply a lot of pressure.

Dramatic improvements in computing, sensors and submersible engineering are making it possible for researchers to ramp up data collection from the oceans while also keeping people out of harm’s way.

A new Jell-O-like material could replace metals as electrical interfaces for pacemakers, cochlear implants, and other electronic implants.

A new material developed by MIT engineers exhibits “record-breaking” vapor absorption.

A record-breaking number of presenters flock to the MIT event’s poster competition; topics range from synthetic mucus to nature-inspired design.
