MIT Professor Markus Buehler received 2025 Washington Award for groundbreaking accomplishments in computational modeling and mechanics of biological materials, and his contributions to engineering education and leadership in academia.

MIT researchers developed an automated system to help programmers increase the efficiency of their deep learning algorithms by simultaneously leveraging two types of redundancy in complex data structures: sparsity and symmetry.

AI can help discover new materials, but we'll need quantum computers to really move the needle.

An algorithm inspired by quantum computers but used on classical machines can make weather forecasts and other turbulence simulations a thousand times easier to run

To build the next generation of high-performance applications, we need to start from a point of hardware acceleration from the outset.

China is outspending the U.S. in the race for supercomputers and quantum computing, threatening American industries and national security.

A new benchmark for AI prowess has emerged: the ability to amass the most Nvidia chips in a single location. This competition among tech giants is reshaping...

Computer graphics and geometry processing research provide the tools needed to simulate physical phenomena like fire and flames, aiding the creation of visual effects in video games and movies as well as the fabrication of complex geometric shapes using tools like 3D printing.

Starting today, the Earth will be passing through a meteor shower. But in astronomy, the human eye is very much a limited tool. But increasingly powerful instruments are allowing us to peer ever deeper into the cosmos and ever further back in time, shedding new light on the origins of the universe.

Conversely, spatial upscalers work on a frame-by-frame basis and generally have lower requirements. A temporal approach can be more expensive from a computational standpoint but often provides...

The May 2024 edition of the TIOBE Index includes a couple of surprising results, placing two of the most ancient programming languages among the top spots in...

Researchers used generative AI to develop a physics-informed technique to classify phase transitions in materials or physical systems that is much more efficient than existing machine-learning approaches. The work was led by researchers at MIT and the University of Basel.

Nvidia shared some critical performance metrics for its Blackwell accelerators when compared to the older Hopper GPUs in a recent post. According to Team Green, Blackwell GPUs...

As a new professor, I was caught off guard by one part of the job: my role as an evaluator.

The technology is transforming all areas of the sector, with new roles generated and more traditional, lower-skilled jobs at possible risk

As Puget's systems are aimed at high-end workflows for content creation, engineering, and scientific computing, its sales are weighted more toward workstations, though it still sells PCs...

Our next application cycle will open on February 26, 2024 for Fall 2024 opportunities.  All Pathways internship vacancy announcements are posted

MIT-Pillar AI Collective has announced six fellows for the spring 2024 semester to conduct research in the areas of AI, machine learning, and data science with the aim of commercializing their innovations.

This Lexar NM790 is one of the fastest NVMe SSDs - and now a 4TB model is available for £204 at Scan in the UK with a free NVMe heatsink, suitable for PC or PS5

This AI tool is reportedly capable of predicting someone's mortality.
