Marcos Berríos ’06, Christina Birch PhD ’15, and Christopher Williams PhD ’12 make up a third of the 2021 NASA astronaut candidate class. On Monday,…
A new computational simulator can help predict whether changes to materials or design will improve performance in new photovoltaic cells. In the ongoing race to…
The potent new adjuvant could be used to help make vaccines against HIV and other infectious diseases. A common strategy to make vaccines more powerful…
The Raman spectroscopy-based method enables early detection and quantification of pathogens in plants, to enhance plant disease management. Researchers from the Disruptive and Sustainable Technologies…
MIT economist’s new research shows U.S. locales hammered by open trade with China have not rebounded, even a decade or more later. In 2001, the…
The boiling new world, which zips around its star at ultraclose range, is among the lightest exoplanets found to date. Ultra-short-period planets are small, compact…
A new study finds the clusters form small, stable droplets and may give the genome a gel-like structure. A cell stores all of its genetic…
New analysis could help identify optimal materials for the crisscrossing struts that bolster bridges, towers, and buildings. Buildings are a big contributor to global warming,…
A new machine-learning model could enable robots to understand interactions in the world in the way humans do. When humans look at a scene, they…
Paper-based blood test developed by SMART researchers can rapidly determine the presence of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies. Researchers have successfully developed a rapid point-of-care test for…
New approach solves a persistent problem of intermittency that has hindered use of the tiny light emitters for biological imaging or quantum photonics. Quantum dots,…
A new study finds that investments in R&D on materials and chemistry were key, while economies of scale contributed somewhat less. Lithium-ion batteries, those marvels…
A newly discovered “ultrahot Jupiter” has the shortest orbit of any known gas giant. The hunt for planets beyond our solar system has turned up…
The findings could inform the design of new materials such as iridescent windows or waterproof textiles. If you brush against the wings of a butterfly,…
New work on linear-probing hash tables from MIT CSAIL could lead to more efficient data storage and retrieval in computers. A trio of researchers that…
The method could be a route to quicker, less invasive cancer diagnoses. As an organism grows, the feel of it changes too. In the initial…
Work has potential applications in quantum computing, and introduces new way to plumb the secrets of superconductivity. MIT physicists and colleagues have demonstrated an exotic…
