The advance could help make 3D printing more sustainable, enabling printing with renewable or recyclable materials that are difficult to characterize.

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

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

Innovative AI system from MIT CSAIL melds simulations and physical testing to forge materials with newfound durability and flexibility for diverse engineering uses.

High-speed experiments can help identify lightweight, protective “metamaterials” for spacecraft, vehicles, helmets, or other objects.

Their new technique can produce furniture-sized aluminum parts in only minutes.

Developed by MIT engineers, the model could be a tool for designers looking to innovate in sneaker design.

Lightweight and inexpensive, miniaturized mass filters are a key step toward portable mass spectrometers that could identify unknown chemicals in remote settings.

The one-step fabrication process rapidly produces miniature chemical reactors that could be used to detect diseases or analyze substances.

Zack Cordero’s research focuses on extending the lifespan of reusable rockets, while simultaneously reducing the risk of catastrophic failure.
