Nanostitches enable lighter and tougher composite materials
MIT engineers used carbon nanotubes to create nanostitches to prevent cracking in multilayered composites, which may lead to next-generation airplanes and spacecraft.
Electronic state emerges from layered graphene sandwich
MIT researchers have discovered a type of electronic behavior that could help with packing more data into magnetic memory devices.
Robo-gripper reflexively organizes cluttered spaces
MIT researchers have developed a pick-and-place robot that adapts in the moment to get a better grip on objects in cluttered spaces. See video.
Vertical, full-color microscopic LEDs developed
MIT researchers have found that stacking light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive VR displays.
Superconductivity switches on and off in magic-angle graphene
MIT physicists have found a new way to switch superconductivity on and off with magic-angle graphene by using a short electric pulse.
Atom-thin materials grown on industrial wafers
MIT researchers have developed a technique that could allow chip manufacturers to produce next-generation transistors based on materials other than silicon.
Engineers fabricate a chip-free, wireless electronic skin
The chip-free device senses and wirelessly transmits signals related to pulse, sweat and ultraviolet exposure, without bulky chips or batteries.
Superconducting graphene structures discovered
MIT physicists have established twisted graphene as a new “family” of robust superconductors stacked at precise angles.
Method developed for improving autonomous robotic systems
MIT researchers have developed a general-purpose optimizer that can speed up the design of walking robots, self-driving vehicles, and other autonomous systems.
Engineers build LEGO-like artificial intelligence chip
MIT researchers have developed an artificial intelligence chip that is stackable and reconfigurable, for swapping out and building on existing sensors and neural network processors.
