Why some quantum materials stall while others scale

In a new study, MIT researchers evaluated quantum materials’ potential for scalable commercial success — and identified promising candidates.

October 15, 2025

Checking the quality of materials just got easier with a new AI tool

Acting as a “virtual spectrometer,” SpectroGen generates spectroscopic data in any modality, such as X-ray or infrared, to quickly assess a material’s quality.

Engineering next-generation fertilizers

MIT postdoc Giorgio Rizzo harnesses plant chemistry to design sustainable fertilizers that could reshape modern farming.

October 14, 2025

A new system can dial expression of synthetic genes up or down

The promoter editing system could be used to fine-tune gene therapy or to more efficiently reprogram cells for therapeutic use.

October 13, 2025

Engineered “natural killer” cells could help fight cancer

A new study identifies genetic modifications that make these immune cells, known as CAR-NK cells, more effective at destroying cancer cells.

October 8, 2025

MIT physicists improve the precision of atomic clocks

A new method turns down quantum noise that obscures the “ticking” of atoms, and could enable stable, transportable atomic clocks.

October 8, 2025

Uncovering new physics in metals manufacturing

MIT researchers discovered a hidden atomic order that persists in metals even after extreme processing.

Riccardo Comin, two MIT alumni named 2025 Moore Experimental Physics Investigators

MIT physicist seeks to use award to study magnetoelectric multiferroics that could lead to energy-efficient storage devices.

October 8, 2025

Printable aluminum alloy sets strength records, may enable lighter aircraft parts

Incorporating machine learning, MIT engineers developed a way to 3D print alloys that are much stronger than conventionally manufactured versions.

October 7, 2025

Chemists create red fluorescent dyes that may enable clearer biomedical imaging

The new dyes are based on boron-containing molecules that were previously too unstable for practical use.
