Peter Reuell | Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering MIT News Publ August 23, 2024 For the past decade, disordered rock salt has been studied as a potential breakthrough cathode material for use in lithium-ion batteries and a…

by: Adam Zewe | MIT News Publication Date July 8, 2024 A new tool makes it easier for database users to perform complicated statistical analyses of tabular data without the need to know what is going on behind the scenes.…

IBM and Japan’s government-backed technology institute are teaming up to develop next-gen quantum computers. The goal is to deliver 10,000 qubits—75x more than current quantum computers that, at most, deliver 133 qubits. This project is…

Copper is typically more pliable than steel. However, MIT researchers discovered that when metal is struck by an object moving at a super high velocity, the opposite occurs: the hotter the metal, the stronger it becomes, and copper can be…

Boston Metal, an MIT spinout, is ready to commercialize a new steelmaking method that can potentially clean up steel’s dirty processes. Typically, making steel involves mining iron ore, reducing it in a blast furnace with the addition of…

AI and machine learning can do so much for the good of humanity. Scientists are using it to improve the taste of our beer and help people find their next best friend. And, more seriously, all of this cool stuff. Scientists at MIT have…

Researchers from MIT invented a device that operates without a battery, plug, or dirty energy. According to Daniel Monagle, MIT graduate student and study lead author, “We have provided an example of a battery-less sensor that does…

MIT researchers just announced a 3-D printable tissue adhesive that can form fast tissue adhesion in surgical settings. Until now, existing adhesives involved time-consuming and skill-dependent application and patient discomfort. The new…

Researchers just developed a new synaptic transistor capable of higher-level thinking. Researchers at Northwestern University, Boston College, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) innovated a device that simultaneously…

MIT engineers designed a system that can efficiently harness the sun's heat to split water and generate hydrogen. The goal is to produce green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel with a train-like system of reactors driven solely by the sun.…
