Biologists build proteins that avoid crosstalk with existing molecules. Inside a living cell, many important messages are communicated via interactions between proteins. For these signals…
Findings in mice suggest targeting certain brain circuits could offer new ways to treat some neurological disorders. People with autism often experience hypersensitivity to noise…
Systems “learn” from a novel dataset that captures how pushed objects move, to improve their physical interactions with new objects. MIT scientists have compiled a…
Researchers from Boston College, MIT, and UC Santa Barbara reveal an elusive atomic-scale magnetic ‘signal’ in a Mott insulator. Probing the properties of a Mott…
Study finds even the tallest ice cliffs should support their own weight rather than collapsing catastrophically. Antarctica’s ice sheet spans close to twice the area…
Fluorescent probe could allow scientists to watch circuits within the brain and link their activity to specific behaviors. Using a fluorescent probe that lights up…
An algorithm speeds up the planning process robots use to adjust their grip on objects, for picking and sorting, or tool use. If you’re at…
Specialized sugar molecules called glycans can disarm opportunistic pathogens and prevent infection. More than 200 square meters of our bodies — including the digestive tract,…
The X-ray-focusing lens used in the experiment is based on a design used in lighthouses for centuries. A fractal is any geometric pattern that occurs…
Model could recreate video from motion-blurred images and “corner cameras,” may someday retrieve 3D data from 2D medical images. MIT researchers have developed a model…
Assembler robots make large structures from little pieces. Systems of tiny robots may someday build high-performance structures, from airplanes to space settlements. Today’s commercial aircraft…
Astronomers use giant galaxy cluster as X-ray magnifying lens. The new lens technique spots tiny dwarf galaxy in the first, super-energetic stages of star formation….
Study of minerals widely used in industrial processes could lead to discovery of new materials for catalysis and filtering. Zeolites are a class of natural…
Model from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory identifies “serial hijackers” of internet IP addresses. Hijacking IP addresses is an increasingly popular form of…
New technique could enable assembly of circuit boards and displays with more minute components. If you were to pry open your smartphone, you would see…
Proposed bridge would have been the world’s longest at the time; new analysis shows it would have worked. In 1502 A.D., Sultan Bayezid II sent…
MIT alumna addresses the world’s mounting plastic waste problem. It’s been nearly 10 years since Priyanka Bakaya MBA ’11 founded Renewlogy to develop a system…
