Thin flakes of graphite can be tuned to exhibit three important properties.

MIT CSAIL researchers combine AI and electron microscopy to expedite detailed brain network mapping, aiming to enhance connectomics research and clinical pathology.

A newly identified process could explain a variety of natural phenomena and enable new approaches to desalination.

This technology for storing and transmitting quantum information over lossy links could provide the foundation for scalable quantum networking.

In a first, researchers have observed how lithium ions flow through a battery interface, which could help engineers optimize the material’s design.

The new approach could lead to intranasal vaccines for Covid-19 and other respiratory diseases.

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.

The ultrasmall “switch” could be easily scaled.

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

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