Thanks to a groundbreaking solar-powered desalination system developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers, more communities could soon have access to cheap, clean drinking water.

Engineers at MIT have recycled "dirty plastic into building products for homes that are lighter, more durable, and sustainable." ...

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say that residential solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, heat pumps, and water heaters could all form part of a local ...

MIT engineers have now found a way to fabricate a metamaterial that is both strong and stretchy. The base material is typically highly rigid and brittle, but it is printed in precise, intricate ...

MIT engineers have used 3D printing to create reusable glass bricks that withstand as much pressure as concrete blocks. What if construction materials could be put together, taken apart, and reused as ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Over 11,000 Americans turn 65 each day, and with each passing year comes more risk for one of the most dangerous threats of aging: falls. But have no fear! Researchers from the ...

What if you could monitor a serious health concern by purchasing a box of stickers from your local pharmacy, then wearing those stickers on your body for up to two days at a time? That’s what a group ...

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, can be ...

Artificial intelligence doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing tool. Scientists at MIT have found that AI design systems that seek feedback from human experts can be more effective than independent AI ...
