With their “T-REX” method, DNA embedded in the polymer could be used for long-term storage of genomes or digital data such as photos and music.

MIT scientists honored in each of the three Kavli Prize categories: neuroscience, nanoscience, and astrophysics, respectively.

The technique characterizes a material’s electronic properties 85 times faster than conventional methods.

Twelve finalists participated in initiative and 2023-24 MIT-Royalty Pharma Prize Competition, designed to support female biotech pioneers.

Researchers created a water-soluble version of an important bacterial enzyme, which can now be used in drug screens to identify new antibiotics.

Smaller than a coin, this optical device could enable rapid prototyping on the go.

An early participant in START.nano, MIT.nano's deep-tech startup accelerator, SiTration is developing ultra-durable filtration membranes that cut energy use in challenging industrial separations by combining the low cost, extreme durability, and filtration performance of various state-of-the-art commercial membrane solutions.

MIT engineers’ implantable ImPULS device could become an alternative to the electrodes now used to treat Parkinson’s and other diseases.

The work could lead to ultra-efficient electronics and more.

The findings should help scientists refine predictions of future sea-level rise.
