MIT engineers’ new aquabot offers a way to design small, efficient “biohybrid” robots.

MIT engineers have found a way to stabilize the lipid nanoparticles used to deliver RNA vaccines, which could allow the vaccines to be more widely distributed.

MIT chemical engineers found a way to rapidly produce lipid nanoparticles of varying sizes, which could make it easier to develop new vaccines and therapeutics.

MIT researchers developed a handheld system that gently collects living cells from patient samples to aid cancer testing and development of personalized medicines.

Made from “bioresorbable” materials, the new batteries could power capsules for drug delivery, sensing, and other applications.

Tracking down senescent cells, which accumulate as we age, could help diagnose age-related disorders and guide researchers working on new treatments.
