This kind of research will likely result in a lot of fringe benefits, but if we look at the affordability of healthcare for the average guy, we have to wonder who will benefit the most. Does the world really need another two hundred years of Mark Zuckerberg and the Kardashians?
The 77-year-old astrophysicist has been on his mission for nearly half a century but believes that modern advances in computing and technology are making his dream more viable by the day.
Some might say the robot uprising will begin when they learn to work together, which is why this video seems so unnecessary.
MIT has revealed their Star Trek-style electric plane, set to revolutionise the way we fly by breaking new ground on wind-powered electric aircrafts.
If your twenties have long gone, and you’re feeling a little bit down because you weren’t able to get your business going, we have some good news.
Robots’ natural enemies are stairs. Climbing up and down stairs is something we as humans have pretty much mastered, but robots are finding it a touch more difficult. These M-Blocks, created by the brainiacs at MIT, would have no problem with stairs though. These modular robots can jump though the air, catch onto each other, spin and roll around to form new shapes, all with no external moving parts.
This is a little scary. The first artificially implanted memories have been created by neuroscientists at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
The shooting of a campus policeman at Boston university, MIT and the subsequent chase and shootout with suspects at Watertown, some fifteen minutes away, has lead to the death of an official Boston Marathon bombing suspect, pictured above. A second bombing suspect, known as the “white hat man” was also engaged in the shootout with […]
MIT police officer shot dead on campus. Suspect has been arrested.
It’s taken months of research and some of America’s brightest minds to figure it out, but now it seems the end of tomato sauce frustration is nigh. A new bottle coating developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) doctoral candidate Dave Smith, together with a team of mechanical engineers and nanotechnology researchers, has ketchup flowing like milk.
People over at MIT have developed a piece of open-source software that lets you drag files from your phone to your computer or tablet or whatever with a swipe of a finger. It’s simple and clever and looks like the future – and it works. They’re calling it Swÿp. Take a look at the demo after the jump.
Okay, not quite X-Ray specs, but definitely a leap forward in covert surveillance technology. Watch these hot science geeks show off a new type of radar they’ve cooked up that can detect objects moving through 20 cm thick concrete walls.

Paying things with cards is weird for me. I mean obviously the convenience of having a plastic card that gets me stuff is great – I got to take advantage of the Threadless sale, for instance – but without that tangible sense of loss at having to fork over a wad of cash, there is the risk of going overboard is substantial. Folks at MIT have some ideas about that.
