Applying an electric potential causes a proton to transfer from a hydronium ion (at right) to an electrode’s surface. Using electrodes with molecularly defined proton…
Illustration of a tidal disruption event (TDE). A new study by MIT researchers using infrared data has uncovered 18 tidal disruption events in diverse galaxies,…
Universities are key to the development of high-tech industries, especially the emerging fusion energy sector. However, there’s a notable gap in fusion-focused academic resources. Experts…
Artist’s representation of nanoparticles with different compositions created by combining two techniques: metal exsolution and ion irradiation. The different colors represent different elements, such as…
MIT researchers propose a theoretical model explaining how cells maintain their identity over generations. The model suggests that a cell’s 3D genome structure guides the…
Kevin Dorst’s research on U.S. political polarization suggests that rationality plays a key role in forming diverse political opinions. His concept of ‘rational polarization’ posits…
Researchers from MIT and ETH Zurich have developed a machine learning-based technique to speed up the optimization process used by companies like FedEx for routing…
Neurons in Drosophila fruit flies were studied by The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory to understand the diversity in neuronal communication. They found that…
A recent MIT study on mouse behavior in reward-based tasks showed that mice, while capable of learning the best strategy, often deviate from it, suggesting…
MIT researchers have discovered that smectite, a clay mineral formed from plate tectonics, can sequester carbon effectively, influencing global climate over millennia. Their findings suggest…
MIT chemists are reducing the carbon footprint of chemical fertilizers by using nitrogen-fixing bacteria as a sustainable alternative. They developed a protective metal-organic coating that…
Benedetto Marelli, an MIT professor, combines engineering and materials science to develop silk-based technologies for global challenges such as food security. He champions the integration…
Clocks, lasers, and other oscillators could be tuned to super-quantum precision, allowing researchers to track infinitesimally small differences in time, according to a new MIT…
MIT researchers found that people’s reported media preferences often differ from their actual online news consumption, questioning common beliefs about the polarized nature of American…
The MIT Game Lab combines research and education to critically explore the gaming industry and its societal impact. It encourages students to think beyond games…
Researchers at MIT, the Broad Institute, and the National Institutes of Health have developed a new search algorithm that has identified 188 kinds of new…
MIT’s StableRep system uses synthetic images from text-to-image models for machine learning, surpassing traditional real-image methods. It offers a deeper understanding of concepts and cost-effective…
Astronomers using NASA’s JWST and other telescopes have detected a bright gamma-ray burst from a neutron star collision, leading to the first direct observation of…
MIT’s CSAIL introduced F3RM, a robotic system that combines visual and language features, allowing robots to grasp objects following open-ended instructions. This innovation, which supports…
