An MIT-led group shows how to achieve precise control over the properties of Weyl semimetals and other exotic substances.

The approach could help engineers design more efficient energy-conversion systems and faster microelectronic devices, reducing waste heat.

The new technique could enable detailed studies of how brain cells develop and communicate with each other.

Chosen from 16 finalist teams, the MIT-led projects will investigate quantum topological materials and sustainable microchip production.

Work by MIT engineers could lead to plethora of new applications, including better detectors for nuclear materials at ports.

The device, based on simple tetromino shapes, could determine the direction and distance of a radiation source, with fewer detector pixels.

An MRI method purported to detect neurons’ rapid impulses produces its own misleading signals instead, an MIT study finds.

MIT scientists have tackled key obstacles to bringing 2D magnetic materials into practical use, setting the stage for the next generation of energy-efficient computers.

Study shows neutrons can bind to nanoscale atomic clusters known as quantum dots. The finding may provide insights into material properties and quantum effects.

New research by a team of MIT engineers offers a guide for fine-tuning specific material properties.
