Work could lead to ultra-efficient electronics and more. 

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, founded by MIT professors and former postdocs, has turned the promise of RNAi research into a new class of powerful therapies.

The new technique could enable detailed studies of how brain cells develop and communicate with each other.

Researchers engineered a hair-thin fabric to create a lightweight, compact, and efficient mechanism to reduce noise transmission in a large room.

Jonathan Bessette and Akash Ball have been named 2024-25 J-WAFS Fellows for water treatment technologies.

With laser-based precision tools for measuring and tuning materials, MIT spinout Optigon aims to rev up the energy transition.

Yanjie Shao, a Postdoctoral Researcher at MIT, and Jesús del Alamo, Donner Professor and Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT were selected for this award for their work on “Exploring the Limits of Vertical-Nanowire Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors in the Nanoscale.” Shao and del Alamo were among the fifteen leading academic researchers to receive this award.

The technique opens possibilities for exploring exotic states of matter and building new quantum materials.
