Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally altering the landscape of scientific discovery, marking a significant step towards the development of artificial superintelligence (ASI). A new study from ...
MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns arise from microscopic dislocations that guide atoms into preferred ...
Ten high school teachers spent a week at MIT in July designing and making Frankensteel, a self-healing material inspired by the villain in the Terminator 2 movie. Next up: they aim to recreate the ...
MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy that’s five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at extreme temperatures. Machine learning helped them zero in on the ideal recipe in ...
In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful ...
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology stumbled onto what one called a “very radical” discovery — the new material they had created, akin to silk, could function much in the way a ...
