A new method could provide detailed information about internal structures, voids, and cracks, based solely on data about exterior conditions.
A new low-temperature growth and fabrication technology allows the integration of 2D materials directly onto a silicon circuit, which could lead to denser and more powerful chips.
Rob Macfarlane synthesizes new composite materials by manipulating their structure at the nanometer scale.
The device would be a key component of a portable mass spectrometer that could help monitor pollutants, perform medical diagnoses in remote areas, or test Martian soil.
These tunable proteins could be used to create new materials with specific mechanical properties, like toughness or flexibility.
In a new study, immunostimulatory drugs slowed tumor growth without producing systemic inflammation.
MIT engineers identified an unusually absorbent material that could be used for passive cooling or water harvesting in warm climates.
The structure of the desert birds’ belly feathers enables males to carry water over long distances to their chicks.
These highly stable metal-organic frameworks could be useful for applications such as capturing greenhouse gases.
Award is given each year by the School of Engineering to an outstanding educator up for promotion to associate professor without tenure.
MIT engineers discover new carbonation pathways for creating more environmentally friendly concrete.
The teams will work toward sustainable microchips and topological materials as well as socioresilient materials design.
Drawing inspiration from butterfly wings, reflective fibers woven into clothing could reshape textile sorting and recycling.
Project will develop new materials characterization tools and technologies to assign unique identifiers to individual pearls.
