New roll-to-roll production method could enable lightweight, flexible solar devices and a new generation of display screens. A new way of making large sheets of…
Researchers at MIT, the University of Oklahoma, and elsewhere, with the help of citizen scientists, have identified a brown dwarf with a disk that is…
Hadley Sikes, who recently earned tenure in MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering, devotes much of her lab’s effort to devising inexpensive, highly sensitive tests for…
MIT researchers find that extratropical storm tracks — the blue regions of storminess in the Earth’s middle latitudes — would change significantly with solar geoengineering…
A machine-learning technique developed at MIT combs through global ocean data to find commonalities between marine locations, based on interactions between phytoplankton species. Using this…
Algorithm Quickly Simulates a Roll of Loaded Dice The fast and efficient generation of random numbers has long been an important challenge. For centuries, games…
MIT researchers have developed a new automated AI system with improved computational efficiency and a much smaller carbon footprint. The researchers’ system trains one large…
Researchseminars.org serves as a sort of crowdsourced Ticketmaster for science talks. Instead of featuring upcoming shows and concerts, the new site lists more than 1,000…
Paradigm4 allows users to integrate data from sources like genomic sequencing, biometric measurements, environmental factors, and more into their inquiries to enable new discoveries across…
“We can have any commercially available electronic parts embedded within the textiles that we wear every day, creating conformable garments,” says Canan Dagdeviren, the LG…
MIT chemical engineers have designed a sensor that can be embedded into plant leaves and measure hydrogen peroxide levels, which indicate that damage has occurred.…

MIT economist Daron Acemoglu’s new research puts a number on the job costs of automation. In many parts of the U.S., robots have been replacing…
In this photograph of fabric, you can see the green light of functional fibers. “No human-made objects are more ubiquitous or exposed to more vital…
MIT economist Pierre Azoulay outlines a roadmap for scientific success against the virus. For humans, the Covid-19 virus is a novel foe. And to combat…
In this illustration, two sheets of graphene are stacked together at a slightly offset “magic” angle, which can become either an insulator or superconductor. “We…
MIT engineers have developed magnetic nanoparticles (shown in white squares) that can stimulate the adrenal gland to produce stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.…
“When you encounter something new, there are some really new and notable stimuli, but you already know quite a bit about that particular experience, because…
A new hospital status app aims to balance hospitals’ Covid-19 load. Based on crowdsourced data, the app gives patients, EMTs, and physicians tools to report…
