These big fish get most of their food from the ocean’s “twilight zone,” a deep, dark region the commercial fishing industry is eyeing with interest.

The research may enable the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for wound healing or drug delivery.

Assistant Professor Sara Beery is using automation to improve monitoring of migrating salmon in the Pacific Northwest.

Biodiversity researchers tested vision systems on how well they could retrieve relevant nature images. More advanced models performed well on simple queries but struggled with more research-specific prompts.

The scientists’ wide-scale acoustic mapping technique could help track vulnerable keystone species.

The researchers identified an atomic-level interaction that prevents peptide bonds from being broken down by water.

New findings could help engineers design materials for light and heat management.

MIT CSAIL and Project CETI researchers reveal complex communication patterns in sperm whales, deepening our understanding of animal language systems.

In a simple game that humans typically ace, mice learn the winning strategy, too, but refuse to commit to it, new research shows.

MIT researchers model and create an atlas for how neurons of the worm C. elegans encode its behaviors, make findings available on their “WormWideWeb.”
