Video buffering can be annoying. And it becomes unbearable when a Netflix episode stops every few seconds or gets ridiculously pixilated. But a few MIT researchers have good news for everyone running a shared slow Internet connection. Recently, researchers at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a tool that analyses video […]
Ever since Facebook’s cryptocurrency Project Libra was announced, it has faced multiple issues even before going public. Adding to the same bunch of problems, the Mark Zuckerberg-owned company is now accused of stealing the cryptocurrency idea from an MIT fellow. It is suggested that the views of the Facebook Libra cryptocurrency and the ones by […]
A Belgian self-taught programmer has solved MIT’s 20-year-old cryptographic puzzle designed by Ron Rivest who is one of the pioneers in RSA cryptographic protocol and, in fact, the R in RSA was taken from his name. In 1999, a time capsule with a puzzle designed by Rivest was delivered to the famous architect Frank Gehry […]
MIT researchers have developed a new data-compression technique that frees up more memory in computers and mobile devices —allowing them to run faster and perform more number of tasks simultaneously. This data compression releases memory used by redundant data to free up storage capacity and boost computing speeds along with other perks. Accessing the main […]
Every year, MIT announces a Technology Review list featuring different kinds of tech that will have a significant impact in the coming year. MIT has been following this trend for more than 18 years. But this time it’s a little different. For 2019, the top 10 technology list is hand-picked by the contributing editor and a former MIT […]
A group of researchers has discovered a way to laser a whispered message directly into the other person’s ear. The MIT team used a laser beam to transmit sounds at as low as 60 decibels to the person standing 2.5m away. For the study, the researchers relied upon the photoacoustic effect, in which water vapor in the air absorbs […]
MIT Media Lab researchers call it AlterEgo headset. Though it sounds as bizarre as it can be but it is true that now you can type on the computer without even moving your fingers, simply by thinking about what you need to type. MIT Media Lab researchers have invented a ground-breaking computer interface that can translate […]
Web browsers’ private browsing mode is the first resolution taken by most users to protect their privacy online. But subconsciously they’re aware that the private mode or incognito mode is doing nothing but deleting the browsing activity from their computer. According to past studies, it’s possible to track people’s browsing habits even when privacy mode is […]
When we take sparse data into consideration, the analytic algorithms have to perform lots of additions and multiplications by zero. To imagine such situation, take an example of a big table of Amazon customers against all its products–1 is assigned for each product bought by a customer and 0 if no purchase is made. To avoid […]
Short Bytes: A group of MIT researchers has developed a new programming language named Milk. It makes the code operating on big data sets about 4 times faster. This is done by an intelligent sorting and collection of data addresses. Later this week, more research details will be presented at the International Conference on Parallel Architectures […]
Incredible Achievement — MIT Researchers Reveal how Easily a Cellphone can Self-assemble itself in a minute. MIT scientists working at its Self-Assembly Lab have identified a revolutionary new technology, with which a cellphone can self-assemble itself. This means, the cellphone can easily disassemble itself and then re-assemble in less than a minute. MustRead: Futuristic Smart-Glove Can […]
Short Bytes: Researchers at MIT and EPFL have come up with a new anonymity network that is said to be more secure than Tor. It’s a mix network which implements methods like verifiable shuffle and Authentication Encryption. The researchers will showcase it at a tech symposium later this month. MIT is a place where a […]
Short Bytes: Google and MIT have come up with a programming language called Scratch Blocks for kids. It is based on the Google’s Blockly technology which was launched back in 2007 and had designer interfaces. This interface helps kids to learn a programming language better and faster than textual learning. MIT and Google in collaboration with each other are […]
This Miraculous Skin Cream can Remove Wrinkles Instantly Reducing wrinkles and preventing the signs of aging from affecting our youthful appearance and self-confidence is everyone’s dream. In fact, almost 99% cosmetic firms around the globe strive to introduce the best possible wrinkle removal cream and treatment options to get the attention of larger chunk of […]
Short Bytes: MIT has developed a new AI system called AI2 to detect the cyberattack instances and mitigate hacking threats. This system analyzes billions of log lines per day and looks for meaningful patterns with abut 86 percent accuracy in detecting attacks. Detecting a cyberattack and its mitigation is one of the biggest challenges faced by businesses. Sniffing […]
Short Bytes: To make our websites faster, researchers from MIT’s CSAIL Lab have written Polaris — a new JavaScript-based framework that loads webpages 34% faster. Polaris uses a detailed log of instructions using dependency trackers of a webpage and minimizes the number of round trips made to download that webpage’s components. Every year, the internet connections are […]
MIT researchers claim they have developed “Vuvuzela” SMS Text Messaging System which is way more secure than Tor and provides guaranteed untraceable communication. The researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a messaging system that is, even more, secure than Tor and in reality, can create anonymous connections — Earlier this year, MIT and Qatar […]
Short Bytes: Researchers at MIT have developed MIT Secure SMS system called Vuvuzela which is more secure than Tor anonymous system. This invention was made after the MIT researchers made a pattern discovery in the Tor system about the traffic pattern of the data. Recently the researchers from MIT analyzed the patterns of packet directions […]
Short Bytes: MIT may boast of having one of the smartest bunch of people under one roof, but when it comes to security benchmarks, it does not fair good. In fact, MIT ranks as the worst US university in terms of cyber-security protocols. SecurityScorecard conducted a study of the United States’ universities and looked through the […]
Do you know the meaning of term software rot or bit-rot? It’s the gradual deterioration in the performance of a software and its responsiveness that makes it slow, outdated and unfit for use. Over the time, heaps of code gets accumulated and it becomes less difficult to understand due to hardware upgrade. For about past […]
Short Bytes: This is an era of technological amelioration and every tech giant is striving to be the best. This article presents to you the biggest names from the tech world that owned the year 2015. Take a look at some of the smartest and most innovative companies. MIT, after probing into 100’s of companies, […]
