The new approach “nudges” existing climate simulations closer to future reality.

The sustainable and cost-saving structure could dissipate more than 95 percent of incoming wave energy using a small fraction of the material normally needed.

The behavior of granular materials has been difficult to visualize, but a new method reveals their internal forces in 3D detail.

Using New York as a test case, the model predicts flooding at the level experienced during Hurricane Sandy will occur roughly every 30 years by the end of this century.

Study finds chiral structures, with mirror-image configurations, can emerge from nonchiral systems, suggesting new ways to engineer these materials.

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

In a study that could help fill some holes in quantum theory, the team recreated a “quantum bomb tester” in a classical droplet test.

The one-step fabrication process rapidly produces miniature chemical reactors that could be used to detect diseases or analyze substances.

MIT scientists find the sounds beneath our feet are fingerprints of rock stability.

A new technique uses remote images to gauge the strength of ancient and active rivers beyond Earth.
