MIT researchers show how topology can help create magnetism at higher temperatures.

Microbial or fungal biofilms on spacecraft can clog hoses and filters, or make astronauts sick. Space Station tests show that a surface treatment can help.

MIT researchers develop a protocol to extend the life of quantum coherence.

Produced with techniques borrowed from Japanese paper-cutting, the strong metal lattices are lighter than cork and have customizable mechanical properties.

MIT engineers developed a new way to create these arrays, by scaffolding quantum rods onto patterned DNA.

In addition to turning on genes involved in cell defense, the STING protein also acts as an ion channel, allowing it to control a wide variety of immune responses.

By fine-tuning the spin density in some materials, researchers may be able to develop new quantum sensors or quantum simulations.

With a new, user-friendly interface, researchers can quickly design many cellular metamaterial structures that have unique mechanical properties.

Made of cement, carbon black, and water, the device could provide cheap and scalable energy storage for renewable energy sources.

Researchers discover how to control the anomalous Hall effect and Berry curvature to create flexible quantum magnets for use in computers, robotics, and sensors.
