Engineers develop a better way to deliver long-lasting drugs
With tinier needles and fewer injections, the approach may enable new options for long-term delivery of contraceptives or treatments for diseases such as HIV.
Device enables direct communication among multiple quantum processors
MIT researchers developed a photon-shuttling “interconnect” that can facilitate remote entanglement, a key step toward a practical quantum computer.
AI tool generates high-quality images faster than state-of-the-art approaches
Researchers fuse the best of two popular methods to create an image generator that uses less energy and can run locally on a laptop or smartphone.
SeaPerch: A robot with a mission
Launched by MIT Sea Grant, SeaPerch and SeaPerch II have had a big impact on young learners interested in ocean science and engineering.
At the core of problem-solving
Stuart Levine ’97, director of MIT’s BioMicro Center, keeps departmental researchers at the forefront of systems biology.
3D printing approach strings together dynamic objects for you
“Xstrings” method enables users to produce cable-driven objects, automatically assembling bionic robots, sculptures, and dynamic fashion designs.
Artificial muscle flexes in multiple directions, offering a path to soft, wiggly robots
MIT engineers developed a way to grow artificial tissues that look and act like their natural counterparts.
A collaboration across continents to solve a plastics problem
MIT students travel to the Amazon, working with locals to address the plastics sustainability crisis.
High-performance computing, with much less code
The Exo 2 programming language enables reusable scheduling libraries external to compilers.
MIT engineers turn skin cells directly into neurons for cell therapy
A new, highly efficient process for performing this conversion could make it easier to develop therapies for spinal cord injuries or diseases like ALS.
