Keeping Web-Browsing Data Safe From HackersResearchers find the root cause of side-channel attacks that are easy to implement but difficult to detect
Tue, 07/05/2022 - 12:02
Malicious agents can use machine learning to launch powerful attacks that steal information in ways that are tough to prevent and often even more difficult to study. Attackers can capture data that “leak” between software programs running on the…
A Security Technique to Fool Would-Be Cyber AttackersSafeguarding secret information while enabling faster computation

Thu, 03/17/2022 - 12:02
Multiple programs running on the same computer may not be able to directly access each other’s hidden information. But because they share the same memory hardware, their secrets could be stolen by a malicious program through a “memory timing side-…
Accelerating the Discovery of New Materials for 3D PrintingA new machine-learning system costs less, wastes less, and can spur innovation
Tue, 12/14/2021 - 12:02
First published Oct. 15, 2021, on MIT News. The growing popularity of 3D printing for manufacturing all sorts of items, from customized medical devices to affordable homes, has created more demand for new 3D printing materials designed for very…
Making Data Visualizations More AccessibleResearchers find blind and sighted readers have sharply different takes on what content is most useful to include in a chart caption
Wed, 11/10/2021 - 12:02
In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention produced a simple chart to illustrate how measures like mask wearing and social distancing could “flatten the curve” and reduce the peak of infections. The…
Engineers Create 3D-Printed Objects That Sense How a User Is Interacting With ThemA designer could use this method to 3D print interactive input devices, like a joystick, switch, or handheld controller
Wed, 10/27/2021 - 12:01
MIT researchers have developed a new method to 3D print mechanisms that detect how force is being applied to an object. The structures are made from a single piece of material, so they can be rapidly prototyped. A designer could use this method to…
