To simplify the solving of massive numbers of partial differential equations (PDEs) for computational modeling, new data-driven surrogate models compute the goal property of a solution to PDEs rather than the whole solution. Credits:Image: Joshua Sortino/Unsplash

Technique could efficiently solve partial differential equations for numerous applications

In the brain's immune cells, called microglia, the gene product PU.1 is associated with excessive inflammation in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. MIT researchers delivered a small interfering RNA (siRNA) via lipid nanoparticles to reduce expression of PU.1 in mice. Microglia stained for PU.1 or related markers are less evident in the bottom row, which reflects the effects of the siRNA, compared to an experimental control (top row).

MIT chemical engineers devised a metal-organic coating that protects bacterial cells from damage without impeding their growth or function. These coated bacteria could make it much easier for farmers to deploy microbes as fertilizers. At left, the inset shows the components that create the protective shell of the microbes, as represented in the center inset by triangular formations.

Researchers from MIT and Northeastern University developed a liquid crystal elastomer fiber that can change its shape in response to thermal stimuli. The fiber, which is fully compatible with existing textile manufacturing machinery, could be used to make morphing textiles, like a jacket that becomes more insulating to keep the wearer warm when temperatures drop.
