Researchers from MIT have developed a new target-finding mechanism that allows microscopic devices to autonomously find their way to areas of a cell surface. Nature…
A newly published study reveals how electrodialysis can provide cost-effective treatment of salty water from oil and gas wells. The boom in oil and gas…
MIT researchers present a new circuit design that could unlock the power of experimental superconducting computer chips and make simple superconducting devices much cheaper to…
A new independent assessment of the Mars One Mission from MIT engineers reveals that the project may have to take a step back, at least…
Using a combination of laboratory analysis and computer modeling, new research shows that nanoparticles keep their internal crystal structure while deforming like a liquid. A…
A team of researchers has developed particles that can glow with color-coded light and be manipulated with magnets, improving the likelihood of tracking the position…
Physicists at MIT have discovered that shining light on a single layer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) can make the material less conductive. It’s a well-known…
By simply altering the composition of the medium in which the yeast are grown, engineers at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and MIT were…
A newly published study from MIT details how arrays of tiny conical tips that eject ionized materials could fabricate nanoscale devices cheaply. Luis Fernando Velásquez-García’s…
New research from engineers at MIT details how two-dimensional carbon “paper” can form stretchable supercapacitors to power flexible electronic devices. When someone crumples a sheet…
