The “godfather of Bose-Einstein condensation” and MIT faculty member for 37 years led research into atomic, molecular, and optical physics that led to GPS and quantum computing.

The molecules trigger a built-in cellular stress response and show promise as broad-spectrum antivirals against Zika, herpes, RSV, and more.

Lincoln Laboratory's 3D microwave imaging technology for detecting concealed threats was integrated into HEXWAVE, commercially developed by Liberty Defense.

The new implant carries a reservoir of glucagon that can be stored under the skin and deployed during an emergency — with no injections needed.

The enzyme, known as rubisco, helps plants and photosynthetic bacteria incorporate carbon dioxide into sugars.

The findings could enable new ways to increase plants’ resilience to UV stress and enhance seedling growth.

Developed to analyze new semiconductors, the system could streamline the development of more powerful solar panels.

Foundation Alloy, founded by a team from MIT, uses solid-state metallurgy technology to create a new class of high-performance metals.

PhD candidate Sabrina Corsetti builds photonic devices that manipulate light to enable previously unimaginable applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers.

Electrodes coated with DNA could enable inexpensive tests with a long shelf-life, which could detect many diseases and be deployed in the doctor’s office or at home.
