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

MIT scientists have tackled key obstacles to bringing 2D magnetic materials into practical use, setting the stage for the next generation of energy-efficient computers.

Seron Electronics, founded by Mo Mirvakili PhD ’17, makes research equipment with applications including microelectronics, clean energy, optics, biomedicine, and beyond.

The low-cost hardware outperforms state-of-the-art versions and could someday enable an affordable, in-home device for health monitoring.

Children living in households where e-cigarettes are used are unintentionally inhaling substances that could harm their developing bodies.

Electric vehicles are catching on across the US, but they’re also catching on fire in colder regions like the Northeast and Midwest.

"The fact I love the most is that we're using a food industry byproduct to obtain gold from electronic waste."

The work will help researchers tune surface properties of perovskites, a promising alternative and supplement to silicon, for more efficient photovoltaics.

The printed solenoids could enable electronics that cost less and are easier to manufacture — on Earth or in space.

An MIT team precisely controlled an ultrathin magnet at room temperature, which could enable faster, more efficient processors and computer memories.
