Researchers across MIT are working on ways to boost food production and help crops survive drought.

By snugly wrapping around neurons, these devices could help scientists probe subcellular regions of the brain, and might even help restore some brain function.

By emulating a magnetic field on a superconducting quantum computer, researchers can probe complex properties of materials.

National Science Foundation grant expected to help New England researchers translate discoveries to commercial technology.

The combination of phototherapy and chemotherapy could offer a more effective way to fight aggressive tumors.

Two faculty, a graduate student, and 10 additional alumni receive top awards and prizes; four faculty, one senior researcher, and seven alumni named APS Fellows.

The discovery of pyrene derivatives in a distant interstellar cloud may help to reveal how our own solar system formed.

Congratulations to James Surjadi, postdoctoral associate in MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering, on being awarded first place in the National Nanotechnology Initiative's NanoInFocus image contest! Surjadi's image—Three-Dimensional Nanoarchitected Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN)—depicts a 3D hollow hBN architecture with nanometer-thin shells using a 3D printed carbon scaffold and chemical vapor deposition, followed by scaffold removal. Surjadi is a postdoc in Professor Carlos Portela's lab, and this image comes from collaborative work with Prof. Brian Wardle’s team.

This work was done, in part, using MIT.nano's facilities!
