Researchers in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) have developed a mathematical model that gauges how fast the Apalachicola Bluffs and valleys…
MIT researcher Andreas Mershin believes that low-cost photovoltaic panels may one day be made from plant material. His work is an extension of the research…
Researchers at MIT have developed a new power source by making a high-temperature version of materials called photonic crystals. By using metals such as tungsten…
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Politecnico di Torino in Italy have published a new study examining how spider webs respond…
Scientists from MIT, Rockefeller University and the Medical College of Wisconsin are hoping to better understand why an infectious disease like hepatitis C has different…
Using a highly sensitive mass spectrometry technique, MIT biological engineers have specifically measured the effects of errors in systems for purine production and breakdown. By…
New research by MIT scientists on lunar rock suggests that the moon once had a molten, convecting core of liquid metal. They believe this dynamo…
MIT researchers are studying how viruses use bacteria to support the replication of their own DNA. Viruses in phosphorus-starved regions of the ocean are able…
Givaudan, a Swiss flavor company, turned to MIT researchers to help them analyze their taste-test results. Since testers tend to suffer from “smell fatigue” and…
MIT neuroscientists are studying the patterns of brain activity that correlate with empathy. They hope to use their findings to determine how well people respond…
MIT physicists are studying phase transition to gain a better understanding of superconductivity of electrons in metals. By examining how a gas turns into a…
MIT researchers state that all flying objects must observe a theoretical speed limit in order to avoid a crash. Flying faster than this speed will…
Using the 10-meter Keck-11 Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, a team of researchers discovered a dark dwarf galaxy 9.8 billion light-years from Earth. This is…
MIT researchers discovered a new algorithm that is faster than the Fourier transform. This new algorithm is based on two key ideas: divide a signal…
Climate change could cost North America, East Asia, and the Caribbean billions more than it already does. New information from researchers at MIT and Yale…
A team of researchers from MIT, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Agios Pharmaceuticals are using MR spectroscopy to measure whether brain tumors have a…
Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, such as PS 10 and PS20 located in Spain, help supply clean electricity to thousands of homes; but researchers at…
In a development that could end up saving the lives of soldiers traumatically injured on the battlefield, engineers from MIT have developed a spray coating…
