Mingmar Sherpa, a researcher in the Martin Lab in the Department of Biology, has remained connected to his home in Nepal at every step of his career.

Preventing 3D integrated circuits from overheating is key to enabling their widespread use.

The MESA method uses ecological theory to map cellular diversity and spatial patterns in tissues, offering new insights into disease progression.

The circuits could help researchers develop new treatments for Fragile X syndrome and other diseases caused by mutations of a single gene.

Using diagrams to represent interactions in multipart systems can provide a faster way to design software improvements.

A new approach could enable intuitive robotic helpers for household, workplace, and warehouse settings.

Since an MIT team introduced expansion microscopy in 2015, the technique has powered the science behind kidney disease, plant seeds, the microbiome, Alzheimer’s, viruses, and more.

Chemists could use this quick computational method to design more efficient reactions that yield useful compounds, from fuels to pharmaceuticals.

MIT engineers developed ultrathin electronic films that sense heat and other signals, and could reduce the bulk of conventional goggles and scopes.

A new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy semiconductors.
