A new study shows oxygenic photosynthesis likely evolved between 3.4 and 2.9 billion years ago. Some time in Earth’s early history, the planet took a…
Whenever organic matter is burned, such as in a wildfire, a power plant, a car’s exhaust, or in daily cooking, the combustion releases polycyclic aromatic…
Engineers have designed a relatively low-cost, energy-efficient approach to treating water contaminated with heavy metals. Engineers have designed a relatively low-cost, energy-efficient approach to treating…

This diagram illustrates the new process for enhancing reaction rates in an electrocatalytic process. The catalyst layer, made of gold or platinum, is shown as…
The roundworm C. elegans lacks eyes and the light-absorbing molecules required to see. Yet, it can sense the nasty-tasting chemicals produced by light, and stops…
Fully assembled SEND packages are released from the cell to be collected for gene therapy. Credit: McGovern Institute Made of components found in the human…
An MIT-developed inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control. The smart hand is soft and elastic, weighs about half a pound, and costs a…
