The multilateral nature of cybersecurity today makes it markedly different than conventional security, according to a new study co-authored by an MIT professor. New model…
MIT today announced the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium, which convenes influential industry leaders from a broad range of industries with the aim of vastly…
MIT biologists have found a possible explanation for the Warburg effect, first seen in cancer cells in the 1920s and named after Otto Warburg, pictured.…
Dyes are used to reveal the concentration levels of carbon dioxide in the water. On the left side is a gas-attracting material, and the dye…
MIT researchers have developed an “organs-on-a-chip” system that replicates interactions between the brain, liver, and colon. Credit: Martin Trapecar, MIT ‘Organs-on-a-chip’ system sheds light on…
A collaboration between biologists and physicists suggests that RNA is a feedback regulator of its own production. Low concentrations of RNA lead to the formation…
MIT researchers have designed small molecules that spontaneously form nanoribbons when water is added. These molecules include a Kevlar-inspired “aramid” domain in their design, in…
