The framework developed by the researchers accelerates training of a new, larger neural network model by using the weights in the neurons of an older, smaller model as building blocks. Their machine-learning approach learns to expand the width and depth of the larger model in a data-driven way. Credits: Image: Courtesy of the researchers, edited by MIT News

A microfluidic device was designed to combine protein solution with nanoparticles and then form thousands of tiny, identical droplets. Inside each of these droplets, the proteins interact with the nanoparticles, which help them to form protein crystals. Credits:Credit: Courtesy of the researchers, colorized by MIT News
