The oceans soak up enormous quantities of carbon dioxide, and MIT researchers say they've developed a way of releasing and capturing it that uses far less energy than direct air capture – with some ...

The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

In 2013, Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, proposed a new way to get around. He told PandoDaily, "We've got planes, trains, automobiles and boats for getting around earth. But what if there was ...

Quickly producing biopharmaceutical drugs on demand in a remote location is technically challenging, and doctors do not currently have access to the tech needed to do so. MIT scientists have met this ...

Several drugs that block the immune checkpoints PD-1 and PD-L1 have been approved to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but their efficacy in the disease is estimated to be well under 50%.

Most of the tests of self-driving cars have taken place in cities. These are places where 3D mapping of streets, lanes, curbs, signs, and the like is undertaken with precision. One of the biggest ...

The hulking, heavily armed remote control ?robots that battle to the death, sending sparks, flames, and pieces of metal flying around the ring were the inspiration for a local engineer who recently ...

Soldiers stationed in remote locations could be swiftly treated for illnesses from cancer to the Zika virus, thanks to laptop-sized portable pharmacies developed by scientists at the Massachusetts ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are fleeting cosmic fireworks, lasting mere milliseconds. Despite lasting only a fraction of a second, FRBs can outshine entire galaxies, but their origins remain largely ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- MIT researchers have invented a way to fabricate nanoscale 3-D objects of nearly any shape. They can also pattern the objects with a variety of useful materials, including metals, ...

A team at MIT developed an emergency ventilator that could be built with parts for $100 using a bag-valve resuscitator, a common hospital item, according to a recent report. The bag-valve resuscitator ...
