MIT’s original Cheetah robot is already quite nimble on its feet, but there’s now a smaller counterpart that might put it to shame. Researchers have shown off a new Mini Cheetah that can pull off a number of slick moves, including backflips — it’s the first four-legged robot to pull off the feat, according to MIT. It can also walk upside-down Exorcist-style, pick itself up after falls and trot at a relatively brisk 5.5MPH on less-than-smooth terrain.

The small-scale Cheetah is far from perfect. It doesn’t always stick the landing, as you can see in the clip below. It’s also just a research project, you’re not likely to see this exact bot in the wild like you might with Boston Dynamics’ SpotMini. This does bode well for a future of agile automatons, though. And look at it this way: if you’re worried that robots will turn on humanity, they’ll at least have some panache while they exact their vengeance.

A 1973 Australian news report has resurfaced, predicting the end of the world with the help of MIT researchers and a supercomputer. The end of days is apparently due in 2040, with a major global change slated for 2020.

If you trust MIT’s world-renowned expertise, 2040 is when “civilized life as we know it” will come to an end. That’s what researchers from the Institute predicted back in 1973, with the help of a program named World One and one of the largest computers in the world back then, located in Australia.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation republished its original report, putting it online and giving the internet two years to panic (or prepare) considering the countdown is on to 2020 when a major change is set to occur in the lead-up to the world’s impending doom.

In the state broadcaster’s report, printed predictions from the supercomputer showed off projected future trends via a nifty line graph on different topics including pollution levels, population growth, availability of natural resources and quality of life on earth. MIT researchers forecast that the world can no longer sustain such levels for very long.

The program was devised by computer pioneer Jay Forrester from the Club of Rome, a group of individuals concerned for the future of humanity. And according to World One, they have reason to be worried. Calculations were very close to the mark in some cases, including a diminishing pool of natural resources and a stagnating quality of life. In other regards, however, they were spooky doomsday predictions.

“At around 2020, the condition of the planet becomes highly critical,” the very 1970s TV reporter can be seen grimly telling the viewers. “If we do nothing about it, the quality of life goes down to zero. Pollution becomes so serious it will start to kill people, which in turn will cause the population to diminish, lower than it was in the 1900. At this stage, around 2040 to 2050, civilized life as we know it on this planet will cease to exist.”

After reports and studies revealed that browsers’ private modes aren’t that secure, MIT graduate student Frank Wang decided to take things into his own hands. He and his team from MIT CSAIL and Harvard have created a tool called Veil, which you could use on a public computer — or on a private one on top of using incognito mode and Tor if you have big secrets to keep or if you’ve just become paranoid after years of hearing about hacks and cyberattacks.

Wang said in a statement:

“Veil was motivated by all this research that was done previously in the security community that said, ‘Private-browsing modes are leaky — Here are 10 different ways that they leak. We asked, ‘What is the fundamental problem?’ And the fundamental problem is that [the browser] collects this information, and then the browser does its best effort to fix it. But at the end of the day, no matter what the browser’s best effort is, it still collects it. We might as well not collect that information in the first place.”

MIT explained that data tends to move between different cores in multicore chips and caches, which attackers could access by exploiting flaws. Once those memory banks are full, computers could transfer data to their hard drive, and browsers can’t always delete them. Veil works by encrypting a website before showing it on your screen. You’ll have to type out a URL on Veil’s website instead of your address bar, but it will work whatever browser you use. The encrypted Veil-version of a website will look like its ordinary counterpart, except it has a decryption algorithm embedded in the page. Without that algorithm, the website will be unintelligible — with it, the website’s data will only be loaded so long as it’s displayed on screen.

If that isn’t enough, Veil was designed to be able to offer even more security features. Its “blinding” server can add a bunch of nonsense code to every page, and no two pages with meaningless codes will be the same. Further, it can take a picture of the website you want to visit and serve you that photo. The image won’t have any executable code, but when you click on parts you want to see, Veil will send you an updated image.

It’s unclear whether you’ll have to endure a considerable lag to load encrypted websites or their photos. Developers will have to create Veil versions of their websites first, so we can test it out. Wang and his team created a compiler that can automatically do that, but that means you can only use Veil with websites that actively want to support it.

3D printing can already turn your amazing ideas into tangible objects, but a new technique out of MIT CSAIL could lead to even better results. The method, called ColorFab, gives you the ability to create objects that can change colors after you print them out. You can use it, for instance, to create a phone case or a pair of earrings that matches your red dress today and will also match your blue pantsuit tomorrow. ColorFab’s magic lies in the CSAIL team’s custom-made ink, which has base dyes and light-adaptable or “photochromic” dyes. The light-adaptable dyes bring out the color in the base dyes when exposed to UV light. Under visible light, the colors disappear, and the ink turns transparent.

To use ColorFab, you’ll have to upload your 3D model to its interface and then pick a color pattern. The parts of the object that can transform have a pixelated design, and you can choose which pixels to activate (change color) or deactive (switch back to transparent) within ColorFab’s interface. Based on the team’s tests, it takes the system 23 minutes to change an object’s colors, but they believe they can make the wait time shorter by using more powerful lights or adding more light-adaptable dyes. In addition, the team is also working to conjure up a design that allows a ColorFab object to create secondary hues.

Once the method has been refined further, the researchers might adapt it for use by the garment industry, since they envision a future wherein the technique can be applied to to clothing, as well. The researchers’ goal isn’t just to enable the creation of color-changing goods, though — they’re also hoping that ColorFab can lessen the waste we produce:

MIT professor and team member Stefanie Mueller explained:

“Largely speaking, people are consuming a lot more now than twenty years ago, and they’re creating a lot of waste. By changing an object’s color, you don’t have to create a whole new object every time.”

Scientists at MIT have designed a pocket-sized muon detector that can be easily made with common electrical parts, meaning anyone can kit themselves out with legitimately-functional Ghostbusters-esque gear for less than $ 100. The device detects the charged particles — muons — that come from the high-energy cosmic rays blasted from supernovae beyond the solar system. These particles last only a fraction of a second but can be found in every layer of the planet’s atmosphere, with some even penetrating the Earth’s surface and burrowing into rock and ice.

The device was originally intended as a miniature add-on to IceCube, the enormous particle detector buried deep in the South Pole, to help scientists sift out muons in their hunt for neutrinos, but the research team quickly realised its potential as a learning tool. The team has helped supply nearly 100 detectors to high school and college students, and has set up outreach program CosmicWatch, which lists the parts needed for the detector as well as instructions on how to build it, which should take an average high school student about four hours.

The team says it has plans to develop the device for use in muon tomography, which uses the distribution of muons to create 3D images of material surrounding the detector. This technique was famously used to search for hidden chambers in the Pyramid of Chephren, in Giza. Until then, though, would-be scientists can just have fun learning about esoteric physics while looking really cool.

Suono is one of the first investments the $ 170 million fund called “The Engine” has made, along with six other startups working on “tough tech.”
The startup’s working to deliver drugs using ultrasound technology, with human trials beginning in the next year. 

A company that’s come up with a way to deliver drugs using ultrasounds just became the first biotech to get funding from MIT’s new $ 170 million venture fund. 

The seed round of a few million dollars — in which venture fund Polaris also participated — will go toward getting the technology prepped for human trials, which 30-year-old CEO Carl Schoellhammer anticipates will happen within the next 12 months. The investments from the fund, called The Engine, were announced on Tuesday. 

“By building a first-of-its-kind organization with a mission to focus exclusively on founders working on tough tech, The Engine aims to enable startups like Suono Bio to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges,”The Engine CEO and managing partner Katie Rae told Business Insider in an emailed statement. “Carl chooses the social impact first, then executes on the technology that can make that impact, even if it’s incredibly challenging. It matters that much to him.”

Ultrasound technology is best known for its use in imaging technology, in which sound waves help doctors get a sense of what’s going on inside the body. But Schoellhammer, along with other researchers coming out of MIT hope to use it differently, as a way to deliver drugs to a specific spot. 

Here’s how that would work: A device that can emit low-frequency ultrasound is paired up with a drug that’s part of a liquid solution. The ultrasound creates bubbles in a fluid, which then implode and create little jets that put the drug into a particular tissue in the body.

“It’s actually physically propelling the drug,” Schoellhammer told Business Insider. “It’s actually pushing the drug directly right to where it needs to go.” And while that might sound intense, the process should be pain-free, he said. 

Here’s a video on what that looks like.

That could be key for therapies that tend to be hard to deliver, such as drugs to treat gastrointestinal diseases where Suono is starting out. Typically, the digestive system is good at breaking down drugs that try to get to a certain point. The only other option is to inject the drug, which means it’s spread around the body instead of localized in the gut. Schoellhammer’s hoping ultrasound drug delivery will be able to be more precise and less invasive. 

And, ultrasound drug delivery could one day help companies deliver “delicate” therapies made of DNA or RNA, Schoellhammer said. That could be key as more cutting-edge therapies try to find success in clinical trials.

A few years ago, MIT designed a piece of furniture worth $ 10,000 — not because it’s made of luxury materials, but because it can transform at the press of a button. Now, that piece of robotic furniture called “Ori Systems” is available for pre-order, but only to large-scale development companies. Originally called CityHome, Ori is a single unit that looks like a large wooden cabinet meant for small homes, condos and apartments.

It was originally designed to respond to hand gestures until the team tested their prototypes out by renting them to Airbnb. The current Ori has a control interface with buttons you can push to eject the bed, to slide the bed inside the unit and to move the cabinet to make more space for the desk on the other side. Too lazy to stand up? You can also do all those things through Ori’s accompanying app or by using voice commands through Alexa.

Unfortunately, you can’t get this for yourself — Ori is only accepting pre-orders from large-scale development companies in New York, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, DC, Vancouver, Miami and Columbus. Your best bet is to look for apartments with one in case you really like the idea of being able to customize your space.

Over the last few years we’ve seen more camera drones than we can count, but getting the best footage out of them will take something extra. While many big budget productions are already using drone cameras, a system developed by MIT and ETH Zurich researchers goes beyond mere Steadicam or even subject-tracking, by allowing the director to define exactly how a shot is framed.

Specifically, it lets operators specify where an object or face should be in the frame, which direction it should face and how large it will appear, while also accounting for obstacles in the environment. That way the drone can calculate an appropriate flight path on its own, weighing the various factors against each other to get the best shot each time. The researchers will present their findings at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation later this month, but for now, directors will have to keep begging Roger Deakins to shoot their next project.

Their newly-developed material could be used in, say, maintenance robots working in nuclear reactors. To achieve this temperature pliability, the scientists’ new system uses oxide systems like those used in rechargeable batteries: As ions move in and out, they expand and contract. Similarly, the researchers’ material bends with the flow of oxygen in and out.

Their findings, which will appear in this week’s issue of Nature Materials, reveal that their material can endure temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius. This would be enough for mechanical actuators to endure the brutally high heat within jet or spacecraft engines, which is currently too extreme for components that rely on electrical stimulation to expand and contract.
