MIT research team finds machine learning techniques offer big advantages over standard experimental and theoretical approaches.

Fifteen new professors join the MIT community.

By measuring a person’s movements and poses, smart clothes developed at MIT CSAIL could be used for athletic training, rehabilitation, or health-monitoring for elder-care facilities.

An MIT team has created polymers that replicate the structure of mucins, the molecules that give mucus its unique antimicrobial properties.

A new approach to identifying useful formulations could help solve the degradation issue for these promising new lightweight photovoltaics.

MIT research combines machine learning with nanoparticle design for personalized drug delivery.

The startup Transaera is using a class of materials, advanced by MIT Professor Mircea Dinca for over a decade, to create a more energy-efficient air conditioner.

Study finds the wettability of porous electrode surfaces is key to making efficient water-splitting or carbon-capturing systems.

MIT engineers have found that Xylem tissue in gymnosperm sapwood can be used for water filtration. Xylem is comprised of conduits that are interconnected by membranes that filter out contaminants present in water. Prototypes tested in India show promise as a low-cost, natural filtration option.
