MIT engineers have found a way to enhance the permeability of the skin to drugs, making transdermal drug delivery more efficient.
A new method for producing multiple-perspective 3-D images could prove more practical in the short term than holography.
David Simchi-Levi, a professor in MIT's Engineering Systems Division and Department of Civil Engineering, discusses lowering greenhouse emissions generated by humans.
MIT researchers have now shown that implanted cells' therapeutic properties depend on their shape, which is determined by the type of scaffold on which they are grown.
Thank you to everyone who works to keeps MIT running smoothly 24/7!
MIT students, administrators, and staff reflect on their Thanksgiving traditions, and what the holiday means
MIT researcher Andreas Mershin has a vision that within a few years, people in remote villages in the developing world may be able to make their own solar panels, at low cost, using otherwise worthless agricultural waste as their raw material.
The wind Tunnel has proven instrumental in the examination of aerospace, architectural, vehicular, sports and other engineering systems
Nobody knows precisely why it works, but doctors have known for decades that the healing process for open wounds can be greatly speeded up by applying negative pressure — that is, suction — under a bandage sealed tightly over the affected area. The speculation is that it helps by drawing ...
Associate professor of anthropology Heather Paxson, shares a little bit about herself in this short video.
On Oct. 23, 2009, MIT proudly hosted a visit by President Barack Obama, which caused great excitement on campus and in the MIT community around the world. This short video produced by the MIT News Office captures the day's highlights.

At the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers’ (SPIE) Practical Holography conference in San Francisco the weekend of Jan. 23, members of Michael Bove’s Object-Based Media Group presented a new system that can capture visual information using off-the-shelf electronics, send it ...
A computer simulation shows the way a patch of nutrient material is pulled apart into swirling filaments by turbulence in the water, eventually dissolving away completely.
High-speed videography, developed by MIT researchers, reveals how a rat uses its whiskers to explore a textured surface. An automated algorithm is used to analyze the whisker micromotions, which are thought to underlie rats' highly developed abilities to perceive ...
