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...
Molecular clock could greatly improve smartphone navigation
MIT researchers have developed the first molecular clock on a chip, which uses the constant, measurable rotation of molecules — when exposed to a...
3D Printing Is the Future of Factories (for Real This Time)
FACTORIES, THE CHIEF innovation of the industrial revolution, are cathedrals of productivity, built to shelter specialized processes and enforce the division of labor.
