Researchers can use the model to predict how engineered forms of insulin would perform in human patients, making it easier to bring these drugs to clinical trials.

The device contains encapsulated cells that produce insulin, plus a tiny oxygen-producing factory that keeps the cells healthy.

In a first, researchers have observed how lithium ions flow through a battery interface, which could help engineers optimize the material’s design.

MIT researchers work to transform truck powertrain design, with support from the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium.

Around half of US industrial energy use goes toward separating molecules in industrial processes. Developing materials that can withstand harsh industrial conditions can help increase efficiency.

The new approach could lead to intranasal vaccines for Covid-19 and other respiratory diseases.

Paper and bamboo straws contain ‘forever chemicals’ – maybe threatening the health of people and wildlife.

MIT researchers are converting the plant material lignin into hydrocarbon molecules that could help make jet fuel 100 percent sustainable.

The discovery of flame retardants in breast milk shows that replacements for other banned toxic chemicals are building up in people.

Maui County issued an ‘unsafe water’ alert and urged precautions. Residents can face several toxic hazards from fires, as an expert in the chemical risks from fires explains.
