A new method could provide detailed information about internal structures, voids, and cracks, based solely on data about exterior conditions.

Rob Macfarlane synthesizes new composite materials by manipulating their structure at the nanometer scale.

The teams will work toward sustainable microchips and topological materials as well as socioresilient materials design.

The MIT senior will pursue graduate studies in earth sciences at Cambridge University.

Using lasers, researchers can directly control a property of nuclei called spin, that can encode quantum information.

MIT engineers developed organic polymers that can efficiently convert signals from biological tissue into the electronic signals used in transistors.

With a grant from the Office of Naval Research, MIT researchers aim to design novel high-performance steels, with potential applications including printed aircraft components and ship hulls.

Stacking light-emitting diodes instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive virtual reality displays and higher-resolution digital screens.

Their technique could allow chip manufacturers to produce next-generation transistors based on materials other than silicon.

Branchlike metallic filaments can sap the power of solid-state lithium batteries. A new study explains how they form and how to divert them.
