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

The work will help researchers tune surface properties of perovskites, a promising alternative and supplement to silicon, for more efficient photovoltaics.

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

An MIT team precisely controlled an ultrathin magnet at room temperature, which could enable faster, more efficient processors and computer memories.

MIT engineers developed a tag that can reveal with near-perfect accuracy whether an item is real or fake. The key is in the glue on the back of the tag.

State-of-the-art toolset will bridge academic innovations and industry pathways to scale for semiconductors, microelectronics, and other critical technologies.

A system designed at MIT could allow sensors to operate in remote settings, without batteries.

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

Swallowing the device before a meal could create a sense of fullness, tricking the brain into thinking it’s time to stop eating.

A new method enables optical devices that more closely match their design specifications, boosting accuracy and efficiency.
