- 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.
- Physicists watch a material’s electrons assemble, and reassemble, into coexisting phases: The study could help scientists understand how superconductivity and other more complex phenomena emerge in quantum materials.
- Scientists unveil more than 600 new tissue models of human cancer: Derived from patient tumor samples and available to researchers around the world, the cells will aid the development of new cancer treatments. news.mit.edu/2026/scientist…
- Super-thin superconducting materials, which are only one or a few atoms thick, have unique properties scientists can leverage to produce more efficient quantum devices. But these fragile materials degrade so rapidly in air that they are difficult to study or manufacture.
