Researchers identify a property that helps computer vision models learn to represent the visual world in a more stable, predictable way. MIT researchers found that…
An open-source tool developed by MIT’s Senseable City Lab allows individuals to easily and affordably monitor air quality. Air pollution poses a major threat to…
MIT engineers’ new technique analyzes the 3D organization of the genome at a resolution 100 times higher than before. Researchers at MIT have created a…
The event was spotted in infrared data — also a first — suggesting further searches in this band could turn up more such bursts. MIT…
Earth will meet a similar fate in 5 billion years. As a star runs out of fuel, it will billow out to a million times…
California blackworms tangle themselves up by the thousands, then separate in a split second. Their trick may inspire the design of self-detangling materials and fibers….
The printer generates vaccine-filled microneedle patches that can be stored long-term at room temperature and applied to the skin. Getting vaccines to people who need…
Following cataract removal, some of the brain’s visual pathways seem to be more malleable than previously thought. MIT researchers have shown that children over 7…
A new low-temperature growth and fabrication technology allows the integration of 2D materials directly onto a silicon circuit, which could lead to denser and more…
The observations will help astronomers pin down the physics of the plasma around black holes. Astronomers have used the Global Millimeter VLBI Array (GMVA) to…
Technique enables production of pure, uniform coatings of metals or polymers, even on contoured surfaces. MIT’s Karen Gleason has advanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) techniques,…
The device, which uses electricity to boost hormone production in the stomach, could help to ease nausea and counteract appetite loss. Hormones released by the…
Researchers demonstrate a low-power “wake-up” receiver one-tenth the size of other devices. MIT researchers have created a terahertz-based wake-up receiver for IoT devices, significantly reducing…
Using ultrasonic waves that propel drug molecules into the skin, the patch could be used to treat a variety of skin conditions. MIT researchers have…
Mobility-related data show the pandemic has had a lasting effect, limiting the breadth of places people visit in cities. A study by MIT reveals that…
The new diagnostic, which is based on analysis of urine samples, could also be designed to reveal whether a tumor has metastasized. MIT engineers have…
The technology, which mimics the body’s natural clotting process, could help keep severely injured people alive until they are treated at a hospital. MIT engineers…
Neurons that form part of a memory circuit are among the first brain cells to show signs of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. MIT researchers identified…
