You’ve likely met someone who identifies as a visual or auditory learner, but others absorb knowledge through a different modality: touch. Being able to understand tactile interactions is especially important for tasks such as learning delicate surgeries and playing musical instruments, but unlike video and audio, touch is difficult to record and transfer.

Using a machine-learning algorithm, researchers can predict interactions that could interfere with a drug’s effectiveness.

MIT engineers developed a tag that can reveal with near-perfect accuracy whether an item is real or fake. The key is in the glue on the back of the tag.

Researchers developed a simple yet effective solution for a puzzling problem that can worsen the performance of large language models such as ChatGPT.
