Facial performance capture, a key component of visual effects for movies and computer games, can be obtained using just a single camera with a new methodology developed by Disney Research.
By creating a model that takes the underlying...
Researchers developed a new way to capture and concentrate light for free-space optical communication. The fluorescent optical fibers absorb blue light coming from any direction over a large area and emit green light that travels inside the optical fiber...
MIT physicists have found that subatomic particles called neutrinos can be in superposition, without individual identities, when traveling hundreds of miles, and not just at quantum, subatomic scales.Illustration: Christine Daniloff/MIT
In the world of quantum, infinitesimally small particles, weird and...

"It's intuitive that if a bunch of people are randomly walking around an area, the number of times they bump into each other will be a surrogate of the population density," says Cameron Musco, an MIT graduate student in...
Plastic packaging might seem impenetrable -- and sometimes nearly impossible to remove -- but water molecules can still pass through. And this permeability to moisture can limit the lifespan of a product. To better protect goods such as electronics...
Researchers at MIT and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have developed a new anonymity scheme that provides strong security guarantees but uses bandwidth much more efficiently than its predecessors.Image: MIT News
Anonymity networks protect people living under repressive regimes...
This schematic shows the chemical assembly of two-dimensional crystals. Graphene is first etched into channels and the TMDC molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) begins to nucleate around the edges and within the channel. On the edges, MoS2 slightly overlaps on top...
Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital have used a powerful tool to better understand the progression of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), identifying its first physiological signs.
Led by Dr. Alan Evans, a professor of neurology, neurosurgery and biomedical...
