Have you ever wondered what happens to obsolete electronics once they are discarded? How far do they travel and what are the "second lives" of donated computers? MIT's backtalk project aims to answer ...

A new generative AI method from MIT enforces strict physical and safety constraints while preserving solution quality, ...

3D printing with added time, i.e. “4D printing”, is an industry trend bringing about self-actuating and assembling objects that could one day bring improvements to areas of construction, clothing and ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have demonstrated a significant breakthrough in 3D printing by creating fully 3D printed resettable fuses, key components in active electronics.

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it’s a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

All of the wondrous gadgets and gizmos that have built the modern technological world come with a major drawback—they eventually end up in the trash. E-waste has been a growing problem for years, and ...

Last week, MIT researchers published a blog post highlighting a paper detailing work on fully 3D printable electronics — namely a simple, semiconductor-free logic gate. The original paper was written ...

WASHINGTON: A material called gallium nitride (GaN) is poised to become the next semiconductor for power electronics, enabling much higher efficiency than silicon. Massachusetts Institute of ...
