Earth’s Carbon Footprint Now Threatening Satellite Operations

Researchers at MIT have devised a simplified process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron. This image shows converted neurons (green) that have integrated with neurons in the brain’s striatum after implantation.

Scientists Crack Code to Transform Skin Cells Directly into Neurons

Li-Huei Tsai speaks about the latest gamma rhythm sensory stimulation research in her lab at an MIT colloquium Feb. 27, 2025.

Sound and Light Therapy Shows Promising Results in Alzheimer’s Treatment

The revamped robot is designed to boost flight precision and agility while minimizing the mechanical stress on its artificial wing flexures, which enables faster maneuvers, increased endurance, and a longer lifespan.

An artist's illustration of a neutron star emitting a radio beam from within its magnetic environment. As the radio waves travel through dense plasma within the galaxy, they split into multiple paths, causing the observed signal to flicker in brightness.

MIT scientists pin down the origins of a fast radio burst

MIT philosopher Sam Berstler analyzes the social dynamics accompanying open secrets.

The Power of Silence in Open Secrets Shapes Workplaces, Communities

MIT engineers have developed a method to seamlessly stack electronic layers to create faster, denser, more powerful computer chips. The team deposits semiconducting particles (in pink) as triangles within confined squares, to create high-quality electronic elements, directly atop other semiconducting layers (shown in layers of purple, blue, and green).

Team Unveils Hidden Population of Bus-Sized Asteroids Lurking in Solar System’s Main Belt

Pictured are two of the four absorber units at Climeworks’ direct air capture and storage plant, Orca, in Hellisheidi, Iceland. Each absorber unit can remove about 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Credits:Photo courtesy of Climeworks.

MIT Study Reveals Major Challenges with Carbon Removal Technology Plans

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster of neurons that grow outward in long tails, or axons.

Neurons Grow Faster When Muscles Exercise, MIT Study Reveals

MIT Engineers Create New Algorithm to Decode Cause and Effect in Complex Systems

Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to real groundwater, water tanks, and solar panels.

Solar-powered desalination system requires no extra batteries

MIT Researchers Develop AI System That Simulates Users’ Future Selves

An artist’s illustration depicts a primordial black hole (at left) flying past, and briefly “wobbling” the orbit of Mars (at right), with the sun in the background. MIT scientists say such a wobble could be detectable by today’s instruments. Credits:Credit: Image by Benjamin Lehmann, using SpaceEngine @ Cosmographic Software LLC.
