Long thought to be mainly a structural support, the cell membrane also influences how cells respond to signals and may contribute to the growth of cancer cells.

The devices represent a key step toward practical quantum sensing, with applications in biomedical sensing, materials characterization, and more.

A chemical-free approach to balancing ocean acidity protects marine life and could dramatically impact the global aquaculture market.

MIT Prof. Gang Chen will deliver the 2026 Mildred S. Dresselhaus Lecture.

This new technique will allow chemists to efficiently fine-tune the chemical structure of an organic molecule.

Researchers uncovered how cells selectively destroy certain microRNAs — key gene regulators — through a mechanism that requires two RNA signals working together.

Co-founded by Dan Sobek ’88, SM ’92, PhD ’97, 1s1 Energy has developed electrochemical cell materials for hydrogen electrolyzers that it says reduces energy use by 30 percent.

MIT physicists have discovered 3D “moiré crystals” that simulate four-dimensional quantum materials to a T.

Computational biologist Sergei Kotelnikov is working to develop new methods in protein modeling as part of the School of Science Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship.
