During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they reach what is known as the transition state — a point at which the reaction must proceed. This state is extremely short-lived and nearly impossible to observe experimentally. Its structures can be calculated using quantum chemistry techniques, but these methods are very time-consuming.
Recently, a team of…
A new technique developed by researchers from MIT promises to revolutionize how artists animate characters in video games and animated films. Utilizing mathematical functions called barycentric coordinates, which define how 2D and 3D shapes can move, bend, and stretch in space, will give animators greater control over the motion of characters.
Traditional animating methods often provide…

The research indicated that these models’ internal data structures have similarities to those seen in the human brain in response…
Chemical reactions reach a 'transition state' when molecules gain enough energy for the reaction to proceed. This state is brief and hard to observe experimentally. The arrangement of these transition states can be calculated through quantum chemistry, but it is highly time-consuming. Scientists at MIT have developed a faster method using machine learning which computes…
A group of MIT researchers have developed a technique that will allow artists better control over their 3D animations.
