A new technique produces perovskite nanocrystals right where they’re needed, so the exceedingly delicate materials can be integrated into nanoscale devices.

The disorganized arrangement of the proteins in light-harvesting complexes is the key to their extreme efficiency.

PFAS can be filtered, but getting rid of the chemicals is a monumental challenge. A biochemist and soil scientist explain.

By adding weak linkers to a polymer network, chemists dramatically enhanced the material’s resistance to tearing.

The device emits a stream of single photos at room temperature and could provide a basis for optical quantum computers.

Two glass researchers explain how glass is made, the unique properties of glass and how those properties have allowed it to be a useful material to humans for thousands of years.

A new way of machining microscale rotors from diamond crystal can enable ultrasensitive NMR devices for probing proteins and other materials.

Fifteen principal investigators from across MIT will conduct early work to solve issues ranging from water contamination to aquaculture monitoring and management.

Matt Shoulders will lead an interdisciplinary team to improve RuBisCO — the photosynthesis enzyme thought to be the holy grail for improving agricultural yield.

The method could enable a rapid test to determine whether individuals are producing antibodies that help protect against Covid-19.
