MIT engineers developed an insect-sized jumping robot that can traverse challenging terrains and carry heavy payloads.

MIT engineers developed a way to grow artificial tissues that look and act like their natural counterparts.

When scientists stimulated cells to produce a protein that helps “water bears” survive extreme environments, the tissue showed much less DNA damage after radiation treatment.

They combined a blend of slimy and sticky proteins to produce a fast-acting, bacteria-blocking, waterproof adhesive for use in biomedical applications.

With a new design, the bug-sized bot was able to fly 100 times longer than prior versions.

MIT engineers developed AI frameworks to identify evidence-driven hypotheses that could advance biologically inspired materials.

New research shows the filter-feeders strike a natural balance between permeability and selectivity that could inform design of water treatment systems.

The needle-free device could be used to deliver insulin, antibodies, RNA, or other large molecules.

New findings could help engineers design materials for light and heat management.

MIT CSAIL researchers enhance robotic precision with sophisticated tactile sensors in the palm and agile fingers, setting the stage for improvements in human-robot interaction and prosthetic technology.
