It's a test of feasibility in scaling up this water harvesting technology. Now people can build it even larger, or make it into parallel panels, to supply drinking water to people and achieve real impact.

“This result shows the prior intuition is completely false,” Williams says. “I thought there must be something wrong [with the proof] because this is extremely unexpected.”

Modern large language models (LLMs) lack the ability to learn from experience, but MIT's SEAL offers a method for continual learning using self-generated data.

The window-sized device can convert vapor from the air into safe drinking water using hydrogel, functioning without electricity or any power source.

A researcher in MIT's Mechanical Engineering Department has developed a method to quickly restore paintings using physical masks created from digitally restored artworks, potentially rescuing countless art pieces.

Researchers tested 180 eggs, dropping them from three different heights to see how they'd hold up in different orientations. The result? Eggs dropped vertically were more likely to crack than those dropped horizontally, even at the lowest height.

Lab experiments at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology show that raw chicken eggs are less likely to crack when dropped side-on than when vertically oriented.
