MIT researchers have discovered “moiré crystals” with two different competing atomic lattices, which together generate a moiré superlattice that is mathematically equivalent to an emergent 4D “superspace” lattice.

- The mashup of a black hole and an enormous star has never been seen before and could explain the mysterious little red dots often found in deep-space images.
- “If their DNA could be retrained, maybe microbes could deliver nitrogen directly to wheat, corn, and other crops when it’s most needed.” Chris Voigt is helping turn that idea into reality by engineering microbes to work harder and smarter. Read his story:
- Engineers developed a tool for designing habitats in space and other extreme environments to help crews not just survive but thrive.
- In a feat of adaptive reuse, the century-old Met Warehouse has become a new home for @mitsap. “It’s almost inconceivable that this brick box, which was not designed for human habitation but to store objects, has been opened up,” says John Ochsendorf.
