Researchers showed they can inexpensively produce silk microneedles to deliver vitamins or agrochemicals to plants. […]
Using diagrams to represent interactions in multipart systems can provide a faster way to design software improvements. […]
By eliminating redundant computations, a new data-driven method can streamline processes like scheduling trains, routing delivery drivers, or assigning airline crews. […]
Scientists have found that trees in cities respond to higher temperatures differently than those in forests, potentially masking climate impacts. […]
The findings provide new drug targets for stopping the infection’s spread. […]
MIT study demonstrates patchy meadows of seagrass can have limited carbon storage Seagrasses and other aquatic plants are recognized as “ecosystem engineers” for their ability to physically modify the environment. A meadow of seagrass acts like […]
Engineers developed a planning tool that can help independent entities decide when they should invest in joint projects. […]
Findings may help predict how rain and irrigation systems launch particles and pathogens from watery surfaces, with implications for industry, agriculture, and public health. […]
Assistant Professor César Terrer discusses pioneering volcano research to track carbon dynamics in tropical forests. […]
A new MIT study identifies steps that can lower not only emissions, but also costs, across the combined electric power and natural gas industries that now supply heating fuels. […]
Pathogen removal and ejection from moving surfaces and plant leaves How sessile water droplets detach from moving surfaces and leaves might not be a common everyday thought. To scientists interested in how diseases spread from one […]
Southern California has recently faced a series of devastating wildfires, such as the Palisades and Eaton fires, which have left a trail of destruction and highlighted the region’s increasing vulnerability to natural hazards. These events serve […]
Designing new alloy materials with two or more elements is a complicated process that requires combining information from multiple scales—like zooming in and out between atomic structures and large-scale material properties. Traditionally, this involves experts carefully […]
Findings reported by MIT researchers may have significant implications in material design. […]
New findings illuminate how Prochlorococcus’ nightly “cross-feeding” plays a role in regulating the ocean’s capacity to cycle and store carbon. […]
