MIT scientists have developed AI that can detect Covid-19 by listening to a person force out a cough, even if that person is otherwise asymptomatic. To make this possible, the scientists developed neural networks that can distinguish subtle changes indicative of the novel … [Read more...] about Scientists develop AI that detects Covid-19 by listening to your coughs

This novel device developed by MIT grads could revolutionize dermatology
Seeking to deliver skincare treatments in a way that doesn’t involve needles or creams, two MIT grads started developing a device five years ago that delivers over the counter skincare actives by penetrating the skin with a fast-moving mist. Now, the recently launched technology … [Read more...] about This novel device developed by MIT grads could revolutionize dermatology
MIT’s autonomous water cabs are almost ready to take to the canals
Autonomous cars may be all the rage now in the world of land transportation but over the course of the last four years, some researchers at MIT have been busy developing a different kind of self-driving vehicle. Enter the Roboat — a smart boat that navigates on its own to … [Read more...] about MIT’s autonomous water cabs are almost ready to take to the canals
This skin-like device could help ALS patients communicate more easily
People with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) gradually lose control over the muscles that allow them to speak. And while there are some communication devices for ALS patients, most of them are quite cumbersome to use on a daily basis because of their bulky size and the fact … [Read more...] about This skin-like device could help ALS patients communicate more easily
Artificial intelligence may soon help linguists decipher ancient languages
Needless to say, deciphering an ancient language when there’s no one left alive who speaks it can be rather daunting. But historical linguists may soon get a helping hand thanks to an AI-based system developed by researchers at MIT. A team of researchers at MIT’s Computer … [Read more...] about Artificial intelligence may soon help linguists decipher ancient languages
