Researchers from MIT, NREL and the University of Rochester demonstrated a thermophotovoltaic cell that converts heat to electricity at more than 40 percent efficiency. The result could support thermal batteries…
MIT researchers have discovered that the adult brain contains a vast number of silent synapses that remain dormant until needed for learning. These connections provide a reservoir of plasticity, allowing…
Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a wireless system that powers medical devices deep within the body using radio frequency waves. This technology eliminates the need…
Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed "liquid" neural networks that can adapt to new data patterns after training. Unlike traditional AI, these models use fluid…
MIT chemical engineers have created a new material called 2DPA-1, a two-dimensional polymer that is stronger than steel but as light as plastic. This breakthrough overcomes decades of theoretical hurdles…
