The findings point to faster way to detect bacteria in food, water, and clinical samples.

MIT system demonstrates greater than 100-fold improvement in energy efficiency and a 25-fold improvement in compute density compared with current systems.

Produced with techniques borrowed from Japanese paper-cutting, the strong metal lattices are lighter than cork and have customizable mechanical properties.

With this new approach, a tailsitter aircraft, ideal for search-and-rescue missions, can plan and execute complex, high-speed acrobatic maneuvers.

MIT researchers model and create an atlas for how neurons of the worm C. elegans encode its behaviors, make findings available on their “WormWideWeb.”

With a new technique, a robot can reason efficiently about moving objects using more than just its fingertips.

Evaluating articles and journals using a new “diversity index” could promote a wider range of perspectives and better global health outcomes, researchers say.
