The device, based on simple tetromino shapes, could determine the direction and distance of a radiation source, with fewer detector pixels.

Applying a small voltage to a catalyst can increase the rates of reactions used in petrochemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacture, and many other processes.

The finding provides new insights into the ultrafast control of magnetic materials, with potential to enable next-generation information processing technologies.

The advance opens a path to next-generation devices with unique optical and electronic properties.

Core-shell structures made of hydrogel could enable more efficient uptake in the body.

The approach directly converts the greenhouse gas into formate, a solid fuel that can be stored indefinitely and could be used to heat homes or power industries.

The advance brings quantum error correction a step closer to reality.

MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center will receive DoE support to improve access to fusion data and increase workforce diversity.

A new study finds system deployment processes have been slow to improve over time — but must be addressed to lower clean energy costs in the future.

MIT engineers developed a new way to create these arrays, by scaffolding quantum rods onto patterned DNA.
