Rising seniors Avani Ahuja, Julianna Lian, Jacqueline Prawira, and Alex Tang are honored for their academic achievements.

MIT chemists found a way to identify a complex sugar molecule in the cell walls of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the world’s deadliest pathogen.

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

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

A new method lets users ask, in plain language, for a new molecule with certain properties, and receive a detailed description of how to synthesize it.

Upending a long-held supposition, MIT researchers find a common catalyst works by cycling between two different forms.

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

For the past decade, the Abdul Latif Jameel Water and Food Systems Lab has strengthened MIT faculty efforts in water and food research and innovation.

They combined a blend of slimy and sticky proteins to produce a fast-acting, bacteria-blocking, waterproof adhesive for use in biomedical applications.

A new approach, which takes minutes rather than days, predicts how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.
