Updated Beatles Documentary Is a Fresh Reminder of the Power of Cultural Globalization
Clark Packard Last week, Disney+ released a restored version of The Beatles Anthology, the landmark 1995 ABC eight-part documentary series that remains the closest thing to a definitive account of the band’s extraordinary journey. I binge-watched the updated Anthology over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which brought back memories of watching the original with my parents 30 years ago. Now I’m the parent, though my wife and four-year-old son were less enthusiastic about the marathon viewing sessions. Last year, I […]

New algorithms enable efficient machine learning with symmetric data
If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine-learning model might think it is a new data point. In computer science parlance, the molecule is “symmetric,” meaning the fundamental structure of that molecule remains the same if it undergoes certain transformations, like rotation. If a drug discovery model doesn’t understand symmetry, it could make inaccurate predictions about molecular properties. But despite some empirical […]

Civil Disobedience of Copyright Keeps Science Going
Creating and sharing knowledge are defining traits of humankind, yet copyright law has grown so restrictive that it can require acts of civil disobedience to ensure that students and scholars have the books they need and to preserve swaths of culture from being lost forever. Reputable research generally follows a familiar pattern: Scientific articles are written by scholars based on their research—often with public funding. Those articles are then peer-reviewed by other scholars in their fields and revisions […]

Responding to the climate impact of generative AI
In part 2 of our two-part series on generative artificial intelligence’s environmental impacts, MIT News explores some of the ways experts are working to reduce the technology’s carbon footprint. The energy demands of generative AI are expected to continue increasing dramatically over the next decade. For instance, an April 2025 report from the International Energy Agency predicts that the global electricity demand from data centers, which house the computing infrastructure to train and deploy AI models, will more than double by […]

A Gaming GPU Helps Crack the Code on a Thousand-Year Cultural Conversation
Ceramics — the humble mix of earth, fire and artistry — have been part of a global conversation for millennia. From Tang Dynasty trade routes to Renaissance palaces, from museum vitrines to high-stakes auction floors, they’ve carried culture across borders, evolving into status symbols, commodities and pieces of contested history. Their value has been shaped by aesthetics and economics, empire and, now, technology. This figure visualizes 20 representative Chinese ceramic craftsmanship styles across seven historical periods, ranging from […]

Quotation of the Day…
Tweet … is from page 130 of Norbert Michel’s superb and data-rich 2025 book, Crushing Capitalism: How Populist Policies are Threatening the American Dream: Regardless of the politics, the evidence simply does not connect widespread economic difficulties to “trade with China” or competition with “cheap labor.” The evidence also fails to support the widely repeated claim that the typical American worker’s real wages have not budged in decades. Although there is no single “right” way to measure income […]
