MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy that’s five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype we look at the biggest tech breakthroughs of 2025–and the year’s best music.

Why did humans evolve the eyes we have today? While scientists can't go back in time to study the environmental pressures that shaped the evolution of the diverse vision systems that exist in nature, ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

The industry hype says "more agents is all you need," but new data shows that strictly sequential tasks and tool-heavy ...

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, ...

MIT researchers build a “scientific sandbox” that uses AI to simulate how vision systems evolve and it could help design next ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

The industry hype says "more agents is all you need," but new data shows that strictly sequential tasks and tool-heavy integrations fail at scale.
