X-ray images at top left show the drug-delivery capsule in the intestine, before and after the arms expand. At right, the arms are unfolded to…
An integrated artificial gut platform developed at Lincoln Laboratory allows researchers to accurately emulate the colon, opening the way to precise testing of the human…
MIT researchers detect a single quantum vibration within a diamond sample (shown here) at room temperature. Credit: Sabine Galland Studying a common material under ordinary…
MIT engineers have programmed viruses called bacteriophages to kill different strains of E. coli, by making mutations in a viral protein that binds to host…
A system designed by researchers at MIT and elsewhere enables interconnected smart devices to cooperatively pinpoint their positions in noisy environments where GPS usually fails,…
This diagram shows an edge-on view of the molecular structure of the new coating material. The thin layered material being coated is shown in violet…
A lattice structure, originally printed flat, has morphed into the outline of a human face after changing in response to the surrounding temperature. Perspective view…

Humatics uses radio frequency beacons to track precise points and help robots navigate in places like warehouses and factories. Credit: Humatics Professor’s startup brings millimeter-scale…
MIT team successfully tests a new method for verification of weapons reduction. How do weapons inspectors verify that a nuclear bomb has been dismantled? An…
An illustration of a supersized black hole resulting from the merger of two smaller black holes. The collision has caused the black hole to ring…
In BigSMILES, polymeric fragments are represented by a list of repeating units enclosed by curly brackets. The chemical structures of the repeating units are encoded…
KATRIN’s spectrometer, shown here, precisely measures the energy of electrons emitted in the decay of tritium, which has helped scientists come closer to pinning down…
MIT and Dartmouth College researchers developed a tool that detects new characteristics of non-Gaussian “noise” that can destroy the fragile quantum superposition state of qubits,…
A team from Dartmouth College and MIT has designed and conducted the first lab test to successfully detect and characterize a class of complex, “non-Gaussian”…
