MIT engineers have shown that adding nanoparticles of certain ceramics to the metal walls of the vessel containing the reacting plasma inside a nuclear fusion reactor can protect the metal from damage, significantly extending its lifetime.

Certain mixtures of small organic molecules form interesting glasses and viscous liquids, offering promising candidates for replacing polymers in various products.

Printed electronics refers to electronic circuits in sheets that are thin and bendable. A team of researchers developed a material that stores up to 1,000 times more charge than current forms of printed electronics.

Finding the next groundbreaking polymer is always a challenge, but now Georgia Tech researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to shape and transform the future of the field.

A novel method enables honey adulteration to be detected without opening the jar.

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for printing thin metal oxide films at room temperature, and have used the technique to create transparent, flexible circuits that are both robust and able to function at high temperatures.

A new method known as flash-within-flash Joule heating (FWF) could transform the synthesis of high-quality solid-state materials.

A team has made a discovery in the fight against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19. They have found new insights into how the virus infects human cells and how it can be neutralized.

A tiny battery designed by MIT engineers could enable the deployment of cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within in the human body, as well as other applications such as locating leaks in gas pipelines.
