For over two decades, consumers have used the internet to research, shop, make friends, find dates and learn about the world with the click of a mouse or a few keystrokes. But as we've surfed and tweeted, third-party watchers...
The octobot is powered by a chemical reaction and controlled with a soft logic board. A reaction inside the bot transforms a small amount of liquid fuel (hydrogen peroxide) into a large amount of gas, which flows into the...
“You need to have the ability for researchers and engineers to try out thousands of ideas,” says Hari Balakrishnan, the Fujitsu Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. “With this platform, you become constrained not by hardware...

Our research group has discovered a new technique for compressing the computations of encryption and decryption operations known as Galois field arithmetic operations, and has succeeded in developing the...
John Kitchin, professor of chemical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, has developed open source software which improves data sharing and efficiency in research and academia. The software uniquely integrates data processing and analysis directly into plain text.

SolidEnergy Systems' battery (far right) is twice as energy-dense, yet just as safe and long-lasting as the lithium ion batteries used in consumer electronics. The battery uses a lithium metal foil for an anode, which can hold more ions...
"The adoption potential of electric vehicles is remarkably similar across cities, from dense urban areas like New York, to sprawling cities like Houston. This goes against the view that electric vehicles -- at least affordable ones, which have limited...
The fNIR sensor, which is placed around the forehead like a headband, uses LEDs that shine near-infrared light to sample from 16 brain areas. Researchers use the technology to monitor oxygenation in the brain while the subject performs cognitive...
Researchers designed and tested several types of optical sensors that could be placed at the tip of an epidural needle and determined that the best is one that relies on Raman spectroscopy. This technique, which uses light to measure...
Researchers at MIT have developed a new way of making windows that can switch from transparent to opaque using electrochromic materials. Once the glass is switched from clear to dark, or vice versa, the new system requires little to...
