Thanks to a groundbreaking solar-powered desalination system developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers, more communities could soon have access to cheap, clean drinking water.

MIT engineers are 3D printing replicas of patients’ hearts in an attempt to improve replacement valve procedures for those living with heart disease. Scientists are creating custom robotic hearts that ...

MIT engineers designed an ingestible capsule that vibrates within the stomach. These vibrations activate the same stretch receptors that sense when the stomach is distended, creating an illusory sense ...

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say that residential solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, heat pumps, and water heaters could all form part of a local ...

What if you could monitor a serious health concern by purchasing a box of stickers from your local pharmacy, then wearing those stickers on your body for up to two days at a time? That’s what a group ...

MIT engineers have used 3D printing to create reusable glass bricks that withstand as much pressure as concrete blocks. What if construction materials could be put together, taken apart, and reused as ...

MIT engineers have combined cement, water, and carbon black to create a supercapacitor, capable of storing large amounts of electrical energy, which could be incorporated into concrete foundations or ...

When you eat a large meal, your stomach sends signals to your brain that create a feeling of fullness, which helps you realize it's time to stop eating. A stomach full of liquid can also send these ...

While the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is internationally known for educating scientists, engineers and mathematicians, the university hopes to add one more title to that list: leader.
