Associate Professor Rafael Gómez-Bombarelli has spent his career applying AI to improve scientific discovery. Now he believes we are at an inflection point.

MagMix, an onboard mixing device, enables scalable manufacturing of 3D-printed tissues.

The flexible material could enable on-demand heat dissipation for electronics, fabrics, and buildings.

Based on a virus-like particle built with a DNA scaffold, the approach could generate broadly neutralizing antibody responses against HIV or influenza.

MIT researchers’ DiffSyn model offers recipes for synthesizing new materials, enabling faster experimentation and a shorter journey from hypothesis to use.

The new system could be used at home or in doctors’ offices to scan people who are at high risk for breast cancer.

The gas-filtering membranes developed by MIT spinout Osmoses offer an alternative to energy-hungry thermal separation for chemicals and fuels.

Founded by three MIT alumni, Gensaic uses AI-guided protein design to deliver RNA and other therapeutic molecules to specific cells or areas of the body.

Fast Company reporter Adele Peters spotlights Electrified Thermal Solutions, an MIT startup that has developed a new “thermal battery” that could be used to help power factories manufacturing energy-intensive materials like steel and cement. “The battery uses power from the grid to heat its custom bricks when electricity is cheap,” explains Peters. “When a factory needs hot air later, it’s provided by the superheated bricks.”

Electrified Thermal Solutions is a participant in START.nano, MIT.nano's hard technology accelerator!
