“Our mission here is to save humanity from extinction due to climate change,” says MIT professor.

Researchers design an effective treatment for both exhaust and ambient air.

Results could help designers engineer high-temperature superconductors and quantum computing devices.

Coal could someday be used to make a variety of useful devices, researchers suggest.

Carbon nanotubes embedded in leaves detect chemical signals that are produced when a plant is damaged.

With support from renewable energy sources, the MIT research scientist says, we can consider hydrogen fuel as a tool for decarbonization.

A five-story mixed-use structure in Roxbury represents a new kind of net-zero-energy building, made from wood.

Researchers are devising new methods of synthesizing chemicals used in goods from clothing, detergents, and antifreeze to pharmaceuticals and plastics.

MIT researchers demonstrate how often-ignored microbial interactions have a significant impact on the biodegradation of complex materials.

The process could work on the gas at any concentrations, from power plant emissions to open air.
