“Reversible system can flip the magnetic orientation of particles with a small voltage; could lead to faster data storage and smaller sensors. Most of the magnets we encounter daily are made of “ferromagnetic” materials. The north-south magnetic axes of most …
“Advance incorporates sensing directly into an object’s material, with applications for assistive technology and “intelligent” furniture. MIT researchers have developed a new method to 3D print mechanisms that detect how force is being applied to an object. The structures …
“PhD student Heng Yang is developing algorithms to help driverless vehicles quickly and accurately assess their surroundings. Aviation became a reality in the early 20th century, but it took 20 years before the proper safety precautions enabled widespread adoption of …
“New property in an ultrathin cousin of graphene could allow for much denser computer memory. Ultrathin materials made of a single layer of atoms have riveted scientists’ attention since the isolation of the first such material — graphene — about 17 years …
“MIT engineer oversees design and testing of key magnet components for the Institute’s SPARC fusion project. Vinny Fry had only a rudimentary understanding of fusion energy, gleaned in part from “Iron Man” films, when he made the Google search …
“New chip eliminates the need for specific decoding hardware, could boost efficiency of gaming systems, 5G networks, the internet of things, and more. Every piece of data that travels over the internet — from paragraphs in an email to 3D graphics …
“New superconducting magnet breaks magnetic field strength records, paving the way for practical, commercial, carbon-free power. It was a moment three years in the making, based on intensive research and design work: On Sept. 5, for the first time, a …
“3D lithography tool will provide ultra-precise creation of complex 3D structures at the micro- and nanoscale. MIT.nano has added the Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT2, a high-speed, three-dimensional microfabrication instrument, to its fabrication capabilities. The GT2 will provide MIT.nano …
“Ferroelectricity in ultrathin material could have applications in computer memory, more Ultrathin materials made of a single layer of atoms have riveted scientists’ attention since the discovery of the first such material—graphene—about 17 years ago. Among other advances …
“Jeevan Kalanithi SM ’07 is CEO of OpenSpace, a company founded by three Media Lab graduates using computer vision to benefit the construction industry. MIT spinoff OpenSpace invented automated 360-degree video jobsite capture and mapping. “It’s not exactly an …
