A nuclear fusion startup led by scientists at MIT to create a revolutionary fusion nuclear reactor that would imitate the way the sun generates energy is getting ready to go on a hiring spree.

MIT researchers have unveiled a silicon-photonics chip that reduces interference between optical antennas, enabling lidar systems to scan wider angles without sacrificing accuracy. The innovation ...

Engineers designed an 'architected' reef that can mimic the wave-buffering effects of natural reefs while providing pockets for marine life. The sustainable and cost-saving structure could dissipate ...

Over the course of more than 150 years, countless groundbreaking designs have emerged from Massachusetts Institute of Technology: the first completely solar-powered house, PET scans, and a way to ...

Engineers fabricated a simple water filter modeled after the mobula ray’s plankton-filtering features. Pictured are pieces of the filter. Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny ...
