Startup’s biosensor makes drug development and manufacturing cheaper
Protein sensor developed by alumna-founded Advanced Silicon Group can be used for research and quality control in biomanufacturing.
At MIT, Lindsay Caplan reflects on artistic crossroads where humans and machines meet
In the inaugural STUDIO.nano Resonance Lecture, the Brown University assistant professor traced how artists in the 1960s delved into early computer science, cybernetics, and AI.
New fuel cell could enable electric aviation
These devices could pack three times as much energy per pound as today’s best EV batteries, offering a lightweight option for powering trucks, planes, or ships.
How to solve a bottleneck for CO2 capture and conversion
Today’s carbon capture systems suffer a tradeoff between efficient capture and release, but a new approach developed at MIT can boost overall efficiency.
MIT engineers print synthetic “metamaterials” that are both strong and stretchy
A new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy semiconductors.
Bridging Earth and space, and art and science, with global voices
Professor Craig Carter’s precision design for a student-led project now on the moon encodes messages from around the world on a silicon wafer.
The human body, its movement, and music
Connected by the MIT Human Insight Collaborative, Lecturer Mi-Eun Kim and Research Scientist Praneeth Namburi want to develop an understanding of musical expression and skill development.
Tabletop factory-in-a-box makes hands-on manufacturing education more accessible
Inaugural cohort of Tecnológico de Monterrey undergraduates participate in immersive practicum at MIT featuring desktop fiber-extrusion devices, or FrEDs.
Artificial muscle flexes in multiple directions, offering a path to soft, wiggly robots
MIT engineers developed a way to grow artificial tissues that look and act like their natural counterparts.
Collaborating to advance research and innovation on essential chips for AI
Agreement between MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories and GlobalFoundries aims to deliver power efficiencies for data centers and ultra-low power consumption for intelligent devices at the edge.
MIT engineers prepare to send three payloads to the moon
Data from the devices will help future astronauts navigate the moon’s south polar region and search for frozen water.
MIT engineers develop a fully 3D-printed electrospray engine
Ideal for propelling tiny satellites, the lightweight devices could be produced on board a spacecraft and cost much less than traditional thrusters.
Physicists measure a key aspect of superconductivity in “magic-angle” graphene
