MIT
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private land-grant research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was chartered by the state of Massachusetts in 1861. The university was established to accelerate the industrialization of the United States.
MIT is renowned for its scientific and technical training and excellent research and is ranked among the top educational institutions in the world. MIT plays a vital role in shaping the future of undergraduate and graduate students.
Plug-and-play diagnostic devices
MIT scientists have developed a system with modular blocks that can produce diagnostic devices. The system called Ampli blocks, i.e., plug-and-play devices, can test blood glucose levels in...
Understanding the proton’s weak side
By conducting Qweak experiment, scientists have set new standards in precision tests of the Standard Model, a highly successful theory of fundamental particles and...
Calcium-based MRI sensor enables more sensitive brain imaging
MIT neuroscientists have built up another magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor that enables them to screen neural movement profound inside the mind by following...
Improving mid-infrared imaging and sensing
The mid-infrared (mid-IR) band of electromagnetic radiation is an especially helpful piece of the range; it can give imaging dark, follow heat signatures, and...
Implantable islet cells come with their own oxygen supply
Treating type-1 diabetes by transplanting islet cells becomes a trend but proven challenging. One impediment is that once the islets are transplanted, they will kick the...
Machine-learning system processes sounds like humans do
MIT scientists have devised a new a new model that depicts human performance on auditory tasks such as identifying a musical genre. It consists...
Technology to democratize synthetic biology
Synthetic biology — infusing organisms with various DNA projects to influence them to perform new capacities. Research has yielded, for example, infections that assault...
A graphene roll-out
For several years, researchers have thought of graphene as a potential route to ultrathin membranes. MIT scientists now demonstrated an industrial, scalable method for manufacturing...
Countering the stress of Mitochondria
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. They break down molecules and manufacture new ones to generate the fuel necessary for life. Mitochondria depend on...
Polymer synthesis gets a jolt of caffeine
Caffeine holds the potential help people stay alert. Now, MIT scientists used the potential for a chemical stimulant in order to catalyze the formation of polymer...
Understanding microbial competition for nitrogen
Nitrogen is a hot item in the surface sea. Essential makers including phytoplankton and different microorganisms devour and change it into natural particles to...
Brewing up Earth’s earliest life
Around 4 billion years ago, Earth was an unfriendly place, without oxygen, overflowing with volcanic emissions, and besieged by space rocks, without any indications...
