The vast majority of floor trusses in homes are made with wood, at least in part due to its strength, light weight, cost efficiency and ease of installation. Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute ...

A team of engineers at MIT searching for sustainable ways to create hydrogen have found that mixing recycled aluminum soda cans, seawater and, surprisingly, coffee grounds creates a reaction that ...

The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

The engineers believe they have discovered the recipe for running a sustainable hydrogen reactor, which they plan to test first in marine and underwater vehicles. The team of engineers found that when ...

AMHERST — A UMass Amherst and MIT team have successfully strengthened an aging bridge in Great Barrington with cutting-edge 3D printing, the university announced Thursday. The 3D-printing technique is ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that let soft muscle pull on hard plastic with far more force and control. By ...

Big Blue is investing $240 million over 10 years to build the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in partnership with MIT. The lab will engage in research into artificial intelligence with the goal of driving ...

But a human has about 20,000 genes that can affect each other in complex ways, so even knowing which groups of genes to target is an enormously complicated problem. Also, genes work together in ...
