MIT engineers have developed a design for a system that efficiently harnesses the sun’s heat to split water and generate hydrogen.

MIT design would harness 40% of the sun’s heat to produce clean hydrogen fuel

Germicidal UV lights could be producing indoor air pollutants, study finds

MIT neuroscientists have found that computational models of hearing and vision can build up their own idiosyncratic “invariances” — meaning that they respond the same way to stimuli with very different features.

Study: Deep neural networks don’t see the world the way we do

Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water

In a C. elegans worm the neuron HSN has a critical role in directing several coordinated behaviors. This image labels HSN in green, showing its extension all the way to the worm's head (labeled in red).

Single neuron can coordinate many aspects of behavior

Why certain immunotherapies don’t always work as predicted

Researchers uncovered how carbon dioxide can be both captured and converted through a single electrochemical process in which an electrode, like the one pictured covered in bubbles, is used to attract carbon dioxide released from a sorbent and convert it into carbon neutral products.

Devices offers long-distance, low-power underwater communication

Picower Institute researchers discovered that a molecule called A11 combats inflammation in the brain amid Alzheimer's disease. For example, A11-treated Alzheimer's model mice (right) showed much less tau protein (green staining), a hallmark of disease pathology, than untreated controls (left).

In one design of the new superconducting device, the diode consists of a ferromagnetic strip (pink) atop a superconducting thin film (grey). The team also identified the key factors behind the resulting current that travels in only one direction with no resistance. Credits:Image courtesy of A. Varambally, Y-S. Hou, and H. Chi.

Simple superconducting device could dramatically cut energy use in computing

In hopes of improving the survival rate for breast cancer patients, MIT researchers designed a wearable ultrasound device that could allow women to detect tumors when they are still in early stages.

A wearable ultrasound scanner could detect breast cancer earlier

Researchers from MIT and Stanford University created a machine-learning method that can derive a controller for a robot, drone, or autonomous vehicle that is more effective at following a stable trajectory than other methods. This technique could help, for instance, a drone to closely follow a downhill skier despite being buffeted by strong winds. Credits:Image: MIT News, with figures from iStock
