An MIT study shows that keeping indoor humidity at a sweet spot may reduce the spread of COVID-19. New research links very dry and very…
MIT scientists confirm that Earth harbors a “stabilizing feedback” mechanism that acts over hundreds of thousands of years to pull the climate back from the…
Illustration shows terahertz illumination (yellow curves at top right) entering the new camera system, where it stimulates quantum dots inside nanoscale holes (shown as illuminated…
Remembering directions someone just gave you is an example of working memory. In a new study, MIT researchers show that the brain’s focus on the…
The researchers found that people wearing masks were more likely to behave ethically. According to a recent Chinese study, wearing masks for health reasons makes individuals…
The study demonstrates that lignin has the potential to be used to create 100% sustainable aviation fuel. A collaboration between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory,…
MIT engineers have developed a general design tool for roboticists to use as a sort of automated recipe for success. Their optimization code can be…
MIT researchers used a technique called dot-plot matrix, which is a way to visually represent amino acid sequences, to compare protein sequences known as “low-complexity…
An artist’s illustration shows a white dwarf (right) circling a larger, sun-like star (left) in an ultra-short orbit, forming a “cataclysmic” binary system. Credit: M.Weiss/Center…
The study found that chromosomes are fluid, almost liquid, outside of their division phases. Chromosome manipulation in live cells indicates that they are fluid. Researchers…

Two samples of passive cooling devices were tested on the roof of MIT’s Building 1: On the left, a sample of the new system, combining…
Most studies of autism consistently enroll small numbers of female subjects or exclude them altogether, according to a new study from MIT. A commonly used…
MIT has contributed to the success of the ignition program at the National Ignition Facilty for more than a decade by providing and using a…
An MIT study finds that astronomers risk misinterpreting planetary signals in James Webb Space Telescope data if models to interpret the data don’t improve. In…
MIT chemists have discovered how the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor changes its conformation when it binds to EGF. Credit: Courtesy of the researchers New…
This illustration depicts NASA’s Perseverance rover operating on the surface of Mars. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Day and night, and across seasons, the instrument reliably generates breathable…
Researchers have developed a new kind of battery, made entirely from abundant and inexpensive materials, that could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources…
MIT researchers have demonstrated a 3D-printed plasma sensor for orbiting spacecraft that works just as well as much more expensive, semiconductor sensors. These durable, precise…
