“Dormio takes dream research to a new level, interacting directly with an individual’s dreaming brain and manipulating the actual content of their dreams,” says Robert…
Thermoset polymers, found in car parts and electrical appliances, have to be durable and heat-resistant, but typically cannot be easily recycled or broken down after…
3M is collaborating with the lab of MIT Associate Professor Hadley Sikes to jointly develop a rapid Covid-19 test. Here, 3M Covid-19 test team members…
“I think when someone manages to make a scientific concept beautiful, it explains to people outside science how beautiful science can be. And that, I…
Family of Oddball Meteorites Stumped Researchers for Decades – Now an Answer to the Puzzling Chimera
Samples from a rare meteorite family, including the one shown here, reveal that their parent planetesimal, formed in the earliest stages of the solar system,…
Pseudo-color scanning electron micrograph of the integrated lightwave electronic circuit. Incident ultrafast light waves induce photocurrents in the circuit that encode information about the shape…
MIT researchers have developed a computational model that can help improve the injectability of drug-delivery microparticles and prevent clogging. Using this model, the researchers were…
Shutdowns in response to the Covid-19 pandemic have resulted in lowered air pollution levels around the world. Researchers at MIT, and in Germany and Singapore…
Kimera builds a dense 3D semantic mesh of an environment and can track humans in the environment. The figure shows a multi-frame action sequence of…
On the right are neurons from a Huntington’s model mouse, showing much more PKR (a marker of immune response to mitochondrial RNA) in green than…
An MIT-designed miniature “squeezer” reduces quantum noise in lasers at room temperature. The marble-sized system could enable better laser precision for quantum computing and gravitational-wave…
This diagram shows how a shifting feature, called a corona, can create a flare of X-rays around a black hole. The corona (feature represented in…
This graphic depicts a stylized rendering of the quantum photonic chip and its assembly process. The bottom half of the image shows a functioning quantum…
The masks are based on the shape of the 3M 1860 style of N95 masks, the type normally used at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Most…
“If in the 1980s you asked people what would the [mobility] system look like 20 years in the future, they would say it would probably…
In this photo, Alison Hoyt stands on top of a log during a research trip in a peat swamp forest in Borneo. Tropical peatlands are…
By folding DNA into a virus-like structure, MIT researchers have designed HIV-like particles that provoke a strong immune response from human immune cells grown in…
MIT physicists have observed that LIGO’s 40-kilogram mirrors can move in response to tiny quantum effects. In this photo, a LIGO optics technician inspects one…
Study finds simple changes in road resurfacing practices could improve gas mileage for heavy vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Every time you hear a…
