Relatively simple quantum computers could be much more powerful than previously realized.
New catalyst provides design principles for producing fuels from carbon dioxide emissions.
MIT engineers find a simple and inexpensive new approach to creating bending artificial muscle fibers.
Low-power tabletop source of ultrashort electron beams could replace car-size laboratory devices.
Innovations in air traffic safety, biomedical devices, and magnetic field detection earn accolades.
CNN’s Jessica Ravitz describes how MIT researchers are working with surgeons from Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital to outfit a patient with a prosthetic limb that can be controlled by the brain. The patient will have “wireless sensors implanted in his muscles, which will integrate with the robotic prosthetic being created for him.”
Wired reporter Brian Barrett writes that MIT researchers have developed a new system that allows virtual reality headsets to operate wirelessly. The system uses “millimeter wave (mm wave) technology, a large band of spectrum whose potential has gone largely untapped,” Barrett explains.
Writing for The Washington Post, Prof. Jessika Trancik examines how federal policy could impact global progress on responding to climate change. “We estimate that the U.S. can achieve the majority share of its original 2025 emissions reduction target even with federal policy changes,” Trancik explains.
At UN Climate Change Conference, MIT researchers share insights on implementing climate commitments.
Former School of Engineering and Lincoln Laboratory computing pioneer among 21 recipients of the nation’s highest civilian honor.
