Moravec‘s Paradox

Using machine learning along with data from wave tank experiments, MIT engineers have found a way to model how waves break. “With this, you could simulate waves to help design structures better, more efficiently, and without huge safety factors,” says Themis Sapsis.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging and robust method for use in marine research, conservation, and management, yet time- and resource-intensive protocols limit the scale of implementation. The tool detected organisms from all domains of life in the environment without visual or auditory observations. In a significant step forward for…

What smart home is truly complete without self-opening curtains? In movies, automatic curtains usually signal that we’re in the future (or that the protagonist is way too rich). With the SwitchBot Curtain, you can get a little taste of the good life by automating your curtains to open and close…

Imagine a future where racks of computer servers hum quietly in darkness below the surface of the Moon. Here is where some of the most important data is stored, to be left untouched for as long as can be. The idea sounds like something from science-fiction, but one startup that…
