MIT and NASA engineers demonstrate a new kind of airplane wing
Assembled from tiny identical pieces, the wing could enable lighter, more energy-efficient aircraft designs.
A team of engineers has built and tested a radically new...
Researchers tune material’s color and thermal properties separately
The color of a material can often tell you something about how it handles heat. Think of wearing a black shirt on a sweltering...
Team finds Wigner crystal—not Mott insulator—in ‘magic-angle’ graphene
Recently, a team of scientists led by Pablo Jarillo-Herrero at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created a huge stir in the field of...

MIT’s new 3-D printed shape-shifting soft robots crawl, jump, grab
MIT engineers have created soft, 3-D-printed structures whose movements can be controlled with a wave of a magnet, much like marionettes without the strings.
The...
Inexpensive chip-based device may transform spectrometry
Spectrometers — devices that distinguish different wavelengths of light and are used to determine the chemical composition of everything from laboratory materials to distant...
Pulling drinking water out of thin air
With droughts plaguing much of the western United States and millions of people across the globe living without access to safe water, the need...
Light-controlled Polymers can switch between Sturdy and Soft
MIT researchers have designed a polymer material that can change its structure in response to light, converting from a rigid substance to a softer...
