- 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.
- Imagine a bottle of hazardous chemicals that can change appearance if its lid is not secured. A new 3D-printing system enables users to produce interactive objects that can change appearance mechanically, without the use of internal electronics. news.mit.edu/2026/shiftlens…
- Molecules are among the smallest building blocks available for making next-generation devices. But integrating molecules into devices at scale remains a challenge. MIT researchers have just developed a scalable fabrication technique that can integrate molecules into electronic
