Researchers harness 2D magnetic materials for energy-efficient computing
Experimental computer memories and processors built from magnetic materials use far less energy than traditional silicon-based devices. Two-dimensional magnetic materials, composed of layers that are only a few…
MIT scholars awarded 2024 Kavanaugh Fellowships
Two MIT scholars have received 2024 Kavanaugh Fellowship awards to help broaden their entrepreneurial skills and transform groundbreaking research in drug delivery and water treatment into viable commercial…
Hitchhiking cancer vaccine makes progress in the clinic
Therapeutic cancer vaccines are an appealing strategy for treating malignancies. In theory, when a patient is injected with peptide antigens — protein fragments from mutant proteins only expressed…
MADMEC winner creates “temporary tattoos” for T-shirts
Have you ever gotten a free T-shirt at an event that you never wear? What about a music or sports-themed shirt you wear to one event and then…
Accelerating research with AI-assisted experiments
Almost any scientist will be grateful for an assistant in the lab—to save time and effort. Someone to fix equipment issues, figure out the next batch of experimental…
Team engineers nanoparticles using ion irradiation to advance clean energy and fuel conversion
MIT researchers and colleagues have demonstrated a way to precisely control the size, composition, and other properties of nanoparticles key to the reactions involved in a variety of…
MIT physicists turn pencil lead into “gold”
MIT physicists have metaphorically turned graphite, or pencil lead, into gold by isolating five ultrathin flakes stacked in a specific order. The resulting material can then be tuned…
Engineers develop an efficient process to make fuel from carbon dioxide
The search is on worldwide to find ways to extract carbon dioxide from the air or from power plant exhaust and then make it into something useful. One…
Soft optical fibers block pain while moving and stretching with the body
Scientists have a new tool to precisely illuminate the roots of nerve pain. Engineers at MIT have developed soft and implantable fibers that can deliver light…
Canceling noise to improve quantum devices
For years, researchers have tried various ways to coax quantum bits — or qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers — to remain in their quantum state…
