MIT’s 3D-printed recycled plastic trusses could reduce deforestation and offer a scalable solution for global housing needs.

The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

A team of engineers at MIT searching for sustainable ways to create hydrogen have found that mixing recycled aluminum soda cans, seawater and, surprisingly, coffee grounds creates a reaction that ...

Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, creating a 3D printable aluminum alloy that is reported to be roughly five ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are fleeting cosmic fireworks, lasting mere milliseconds. Despite lasting only a fraction of a second, FRBs can outshine entire galaxies, but their origins remain largely ...

The feathers of a hummingbird, the wings of a butterfly, and the sparkle of an opal are all examples of nature's ability to produce structural, iridescent colors that typically require lab-grade ...

The engineers believe they have discovered the recipe for running a sustainable hydrogen reactor, which they plan to test first in marine and underwater vehicles. The team of engineers found that when ...

MIT scientists uncovered direct evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by observing a distinctive V-shaped energy gap. The discovery hints that electron pairing in this ...

AMHERST — A UMass Amherst and MIT team have successfully strengthened an aging bridge in Great Barrington with cutting-edge 3D printing, the university announced Thursday. The 3D-printing technique is ...

Big Blue is investing $240 million over 10 years to build the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in partnership with MIT. The lab will engage in research into artificial intelligence with the goal of driving ...

But a human has about 20,000 genes that can affect each other in complex ways, so even knowing which groups of genes to target is an enormously complicated problem. Also, genes work together in ...
