MIT researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord ...

In addition, MIT's system doesn't require backup batteries or grid power, making it a cost-effective solution to combat water scarcity worldwide. Engineers performed an initial trial of the ...

Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth – it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers ...

Engineering and Technology highlights MIT, Stanford, and UC Berkeley as the top US institutions. MIT leads with a 96.2 ...

“All these small devices can do their little bit in terms of adjusting their consumption,” says Anu Annaswamy, a research scientist in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. “If we ...

A new MIT study looks at how greenhouse gases are affecting our ability to operate satellites. Here's why the results are ...

A shrinking thermosphere means less drag, which could hinder the natural removal of space debris impacting satellites, as per ...

How an ice cream innovator in Somerville influenced Lisp pioneers at the MIT AI Lab­—and made a lasting mark on programming.

Aerospace engineers found that greenhouse gas emissions are changing the environment of near-Earth space in ways that, over time, will reduce the number of satellites that can safely operate there.

Converting one type of cell to another — for example, a skin cell to a neuron — can be done through a process that requires ...
