MIT engineers’ new technology can probe the neural circuits that influence hunger, mood, and a variety of diseases.

A new Jell-O-like material could replace metals as electrical interfaces for pacemakers, cochlear implants, and other electronic implants.

By applying a language model to protein-drug interactions, researchers can quickly screen large libraries of potential drug compounds.

A new way of machining microscale rotors from diamond crystal can enable ultrasensitive NMR devices for probing proteins and other materials.

By mapping the volumes of objects, rather than their surfaces, a new technique could yield solutions to computer graphics problems in animation and CAD.

With the new method, scientists can explore many cancer mutations whose roles are unknown, helping them develop new drugs that target those mutations.

The method could enable a rapid test to determine whether individuals are producing antibodies that help protect against Covid-19.

MIT’s Science Policy Initiative sends students and postdocs to Capitol Hill to advocate for continued and increased federal support for scientific research.

MIT engineers’ new technique analyzes the 3D organization of the genome at a resolution 100 times higher than before.

Using this approach, researchers hope to deliver therapeutic RNA molecules selectively to cancer cells or other target cells.
