The ingestible capsule is about the size of a multivitamin, and once swallowed, it expands into a star shape that helps it remain in the stomach until all of the drug is released. Credits:Credit: Adam Glanzman

Weekly Pill for Schizophrenia Shows Promise in Trials

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used Frontier to map the isospin density of a neutron star under various conditions. The illustration shows isospin-dense matter at three increasing densities from left to right. Since neutron stars contain an abundance of neutrons, they exhibit nonzero isospin density—a key factor in understanding the star’s internal matter properties.

Star-Shaped Brain Cells May Hold Key to Memory Storage

An illustration shows pairs of superconducting electrons in rhombohedral graphene (the central lattice structure), spinning either clockwise or counterclockwise—indicated by blue and red colors. These electron pairs display both magnetic and superconducting properties, a combination previously thought to be incompatible in a single material. This electronic state represents a new type of magnetic superconductor.

MIT Discovers Magnetic Superconductor in Pencil Lead

Using a computational strategy that allows them to combine information from many large datasets, MIT researchers have identified several new potential drug targets for Alzheimer’s disease.

Robots Now Learn What Objects Feel Like Just By Picking Them Up

Using microscopy with single-atom resolution, researchers observed ultracold quantum gases made of two different types of atoms. The bosons (shown on the left) tend to cluster together — a behavior known as bunching — while the fermions (on the right) tend to avoid each other, showing anti-bunching.

Teen Years Open Brief Window For Skin Microbiome Reset

Researchers have demonstrated exceptionally strong nonlinear coupling between light and matter in a quantum circuit. This enhanced coupling allows for faster qubit operations and readouts—key processes in quantum computing, where qubits serve as the basic units of information. Credit: Christine Daniloff, MIT

Quantum Circuit Supercharges Computing Speed

A crumbling planet is orbiting a giant star, leaving behind an enormous trail of debris. “The tail is absolutely massive—stretching as far as 9 million kilometers,” says Marc Hon, a postdoctoral researcher at MIT’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research.

Planet Crumbles to Dust 140 Light-Years Away

MIT engineers engineered bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural to monitor crop health, for example. Credits:Image: Jose-Luis Olivares, MIT; iStock

Engineered bacteria emit signals that can be spotted from a distance

MIT scientists find the protein IL-17 that fights infection also acts on two distinct brain regions — the amygdala and the somatosensory cortex — inducing anxiety or sociability. Credits:Image: MIT News; iStock

Molecules that fight infection also act on the brain, inducing anxiety or sociability

Researchers developed a new interconnect that can support scalable, all-to-all communication between a series of superconducting quantum processors, enabling an information-carrying photon to travel between processors in a user-defined direction. The concept is illustrated here.
