New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.
“I thought, why not direct these high-power beams, instead of into fusion plasma, down into rock and vaporize the hole?”
We seem to be wired to calculate not the shortest path but the “pointiest” one, facing us toward our destination as much as possible.
MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music.
Where did the “seed” magnetic field come from in the first place?
Russia's cyberattacks against Ukraine have been prolific and ongoing for several years. The future of war may begin in cyberspace.
Driving Teslas and planting trees are nice, but methane reduction, industrial efficiency, carbon removal, and a moderate carbon tax are the most efficient ways to fight climate change.
MIT researchers design glue that mimics the sticky substance barnacles use to cling to rocks.
Walter Pitts rose from the streets to MIT, but couldn’t escape himself.
Researchers were even able store and read a 767-kilobit full-color short movie file in the fabric.
All the latest titles from the experts at MIT.
If the laws of physics are symmetrical as we think they are, then the Big Bang should have created matter and antimatter in the same amount.
DNA molecules are highly programmable.
Study finds quantum entanglement could, in principle, give a slight advantage in the game of blackjack.
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs may help combat lung cancer.
Patients with lung disease could find relief by breathing in messenger RNA molecules.
Microbes screened with a new microfluidic process might be used in power generation or environmental cleanup.
Climate-driven changes in phytoplankton communities will intensify the blue and green regions of the world’s oceans.
Mixed messages and competing interests have left college students feeling lost and stressed.
Number of proton-neutron pairs determine how fast the particles move, results suggest.
When you slow down after exiting the highway, or hush your voice in the library, you’re using this brain mechanism.
In a study that might enable earlier diagnosis, neuroscientists find abnormal brain connections that can predict onset of psychotic episodes.
Delivered together, the two join forces to eradicate drug-resistant bacteria.
Seeing Higgs boson decay may help physicists understand why the universe has mass.
Researchers at MIT have created what may be the smallest robots yet that can sense their environment, store data, and even carry out computational tasks. These nanorobots are the size of a human cell and they could flow through intestines or pipelines to detect problems.
New insights into the role of water vapor may help researchers predict how the planet will respond to warming.
Neural network learns speech patterns that predict depression in clinical interviews.
