Atomically thin materials are a promising alternative to silicon-based transistors; now researchers can connect them more efficiently to other chip elements.

The findings could lead to faster, more secure memory storage, in the form of antiferromagnetic bits.

The two chemical engineers are awarded MIT’s highest faculty honor.

“Programmable matter” technique could enable product designers to churn out prototypes with ease.

LiquiGlide, the company spun out of MIT’s Varanasi Research Group, will partner with Colgate to introduce a new recyclable toothpaste container that leverages LiquiGlide so that every last drop of the product can be squeezed out with minimal effort.

Faculty members Dan Freedman, Robert Griffin, Larry Guth, Stephen Morris, and Gigliola Staffilani elected by peers for outstanding contributions to research.

MIT researchers develop compact on-chip device for detecting electric-field waveforms with attosecond time resolution.

Her research focuses on more-efficient deep neural networks to process video, and more-efficient hardware to run applications.

The findings pave the way to develop more efficient next-gen LEDs that cover the entire visible spectrum.
