An alternative to massive particle colliders, the approach could reveal insights into the universe’s starting ingredients.

An MIT team’s technology could allow cancer drugs to be delivered more steadily into the bloodstream, to improve effectiveness and reduce side effects.

The DIGIT imaging tool could enable the design of quantum devices and shed light on atomic-scale processes in cells and tissues.

Insights into the general nature of motor skill could fundamentally change how we develop movement abilities, with implications for musculoskeletal well-being and injury. Here, researchers sought to identify indicators of general motor skill—those shared by experts across disciplines (e.g., squash, ballet, volleyball) during non-specialized movements.

This work was carried out in part through the use of MIT.nano Immersion Lab’s facilities!

Enabled by a new high-resolution mapping technique, the findings overturn a long-held belief that the genome loses its 3D structure when cells divide.

Their system uses electrochemically generated bubbles to detach cells from surfaces, which could accelerate the growth of carbon-absorbing algae and lifesaving cell therapies.

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

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.

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