To provide access to genes needed for the encoding and storage of memories, brain cells snap open their DNA, breaking both strands. A new study…
MIT neuroscientists have discovered a key role in memory formation for a region of the thalamus known as the anterodorsal thalamus, shown in red. Neurons…
Righthand Robotics combines machine vision with an intelligent gripper design to offer robots that are more adaptable. Credit: Courtesy of the researchers MIT alumnus-founded RightHand…
Engineers have developed a sweat-proof “electronic skin” — a conformable, sensor-embedded sticky patch that reliably monitors a person’s health, even when a wearer is perspiring.…

Multimodal nanosensors (1) are engineered to target and respond to hallmarks in the tumor microenvironment. The nanosensors provide both a noninvasive urinary monitoring tool (2)…
Waging a Two-Pronged Campaign Against Climate Change With MIGHTR, MIT PhD student W. Robb Stewart aims to speed construction of new nuclear plants to help…
Molten metal. Asegun Henry has a big idea for tackling climate change: Store up the sun. “This is the key, the linchpin that will set…
Former MIT postdoc Jonathan Pelliciari, now an assistant physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory, holds onto part of the resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) instrument at…
MIT researchers have found a way to achieve high yields of ethanol with different types of cellulosic feedstocks, including switchgrass, wheat straw, and corn stover.…
A team led by MIT researchers has systematically analyzed how varying the surface topography found on silicone breast implants influences the development of health complications…
An artist’s impression of two black holes about to collide and merge. Study offers evidence, based on gravitational waves, to show that the total area…
Sarah Nyquist, a PhD student in MIT’s Computational and Systems Biology program, applies computational methods to understudied areas of reproductive health, such as the cellular…
Engineers at MIT and Harvard have designed a prototype face mask that can diagnose the person wearing the mask with Covid-19 within about 90 minutes.…
Engineers at MIT, Caltech, and ETH Zürich find “nanoarchitected” materials designed from precisely patterned nanoscale structures (pictured) may be a promising route to lightweight armor,…
This cut-away rendering of the MIT nuclear battery concept shows important components such as the instrumentation and control module, the reactor, and the power module.…
Algorand uses a unique blockchain architecture developed by MIT Professor Silvio Micali to offer a decentralized, secure, and scalable platform. Algorand uses a unique architecture…
A tunable coupler can switch the qubit-qubit interaction on and off. Unwanted, residual (ZZ) interaction between the two qubits is eliminated by harnessing higher energy…
MIT biological engineers have demonstrated a way to easily retrieve data files stored as DNA. This could be a step toward using DNA archives to…
