MIT engineers discovered that exercise-induced muscle contractions release myokines, significantly promoting neuron growth, which may aid nerve injury treatment and neuroregeneration.

A new AI tool designed by Mass General Brigham researchers might improve the understanding of long COVID by refining diagnosis, suggesting a prevalence of 23% versus the previously estimated 7%.

UMass Amherst researchers developed a new, more affordable method to detect PFAS in water, offering on-site testing potential and enhancing water safety monitoring.

The study by MIT and Harvard researchers concludes that generative AI lacks a coherent world understanding, performing poorly when faced with real-world changes, such as detours. The team proposes new metrics to test AI world models.

MIT researchers have created a new 3D transistor that operates on lower voltages, potentially replacing silicon transistors with greater energy efficiency.

Skylar Tibbits of MIT's Self-Assembly Lab innovates in design with self-assembling materials, impacting the construction process and various applications like furniture and coastal preservation.

MIT researchers discovered a bacterial defense system, CmdTAC, that stops protein production to combat virus infection, potentially offering insights into human viral defense mechanisms.

MIT researchers have developed battery-free wearable devices small enough to attach to individual cells, potentially aiding in the treatment and monitoring of conditions like multiple sclerosis.

MIT and Norwegian oceanographers observed the largest ocean predation event, where 2.5 million Atlantic cod consumed 10.5 million capelin off Norway's coast using the OAWRS system.

MIT researchers have developed a new method for training robots more efficiently using a data "language" that integrates diverse inputs, potentially bringing the concept of a general-purpose robot, like Rosie from "The Jetsons," closer to reality.

Researchers at MIT and their colleagues have observed the molecule pyrene in a distant molecular cloud, which could help understand carbon in space and the solar system.

MIT researchers have found new brain pathways that regulate dopamine and could impact movement and control, with potential implications for disorders like Parkinson's disease.

MIT engineers suggest marsh-fronted seawalls as a cost-effective solution for coastal protection, backed by a recent study emphasizing economic and protective benefits.
