“Boom, Boom, Boom” – MIT Astronomers Detect a Strange “Heartbeat” Billions of Light-Years From Earth
Astronomers detected a persistent radio signal from a far-off galaxy that appears to flash with surprising regularity. Named FRB 20191221A, this fast radio burst, or…
By tracing the steps of liver regrowth, MIT engineers hope to harness the liver’s regenerative abilities to help treat chronic disease. Hepatocytes, the one pictured…
Using a novel fabrication process, MIT researchers have produced smart textiles that snugly conform to the body so they can sense the wearer’s posture and…
Long predicted but never observed, fluid-like electron whirlpools could be leveraged for next-gen low-power electronics. Credit: Christine Daniloff, MIT Long predicted but never observed before,…
Scientists at MIT have developed a method to enable such quantum sensors to detect any arbitrary frequency, with no loss of their ability to measure…
What if we could retrofit virtually every coal and gas power plant in the world to use a carbon-free energy source deep below our feet…
Event recorded with the CMS detector in 2012 at a proton-proton center of mass energy of 8 TeV. The event shows characteristics expected from the…
