Transparent solar technology represents ‘wave of the future’
According to a new research report published in Nature Energy, See-through solar materials that can be applied to windows represent a massive source of untapped energy and could harvest as much power…
A mosquito’s secret weapon: a light touch and strong wings
Scientists have found the key to mosquitoes’ stealth takeoffs: They barely push off when making a fast getaway, but instead rely on strong and rapid wing beats to quickly get aloft without…
Using artificial intelligence to improve early breast cancer detection
Model developed at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory could reduce false positives and unnecessary surgeries. Every year 40,000 women die from breast cancer in the U.S. alone. When cancers are found early,…
LIGO and Virgo Make First Detection of Gravitational Waves Produced by Colliding Neutron Stars
For the first time, scientists have directly detected gravitational waves—ripples in space and time—in addition to light from the spectacular collision of two neutron stars. This marks the first time that a…
