Programmed Bacteria With Multicolor Vision By: Rob Matheson | MIT News Office June 5, 2017 MIT researchers have engineered bacteria with “multicolor vision” — E. coli that recognize red, green, or blue (RGB) light and, in response to each color, express different genes that perform different biological functions. To showcase [..]

Moisture-Responsive Breathable Workout Suit: Designed By MIT Scientists     A team of MIT researchers has designed a breathable workout suit with ventilating flaps that open and close in response to an athlete’s body heat and sweat. These flaps, which range from thumbnail- to finger-sized, are lined with live microbial [..]

C-LEARN: A New Approach To Teach Robots With Robots Source: Adam Conner-Simons | CSAIL MIT May 10, 2017 Most robots are programmed using one of two methods: learning from demonstration, in which they watch a task being done and then replicate it, or via motion-planning techniques such as optimization or sampling, [..]

Noval Way To Clear Pollutants From Water By: David L. Chandler | MIT News Office May 14, 2017 When it comes to removing very dilute concentrations of pollutants from water, existing separation methods tend to be energy- and chemical-intensive. Now, a new method developed at MIT could provide a selective [..]

New Chemical “Dye” To Improve Liver Cancer Imaging By: NUS News 14 May 2017 Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a novel nanodiamond-based contrast agent – a chemical “dye” used to enhance the visibility of internal body structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – that improves visualisation of liver [..]

New Technology To Monitor And Maintain The Drug Levels In The Body May 12, 2017 By: Tom Abate | Stanford News As with coffee or alcohol, the way each person processes medication is unique. One person’s perfect dose may be another person’s deadly overdose. With such variability, it can be [..]

A New Leap In Quantum Computing By Stanford Team By: Tom Abate (Stanford News) May 11, 2017 For 60 years computers have become smaller, faster and cheaper. But engineers are approaching the limits of how small they can make silicon transistors and how quickly they can push electricity through devices to [..]

Key Step Identified In Lung Cancer Evolution By MIT Biologist By: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office May 11, 2017 Lung adenocarcinoma, an aggressive form of cancer that accounts for about 40 percent of U.S. lung cancer cases, is believed to arise from benign tumors known as adenomas. MIT biologists [..]

Exotic Electronic States of Graphene Source: Jennifer Chu | MIT News Office May 9, 2017 In normal conductive materials such as silver and copper, electric current flows with varying degrees of resistance, in the form of individual electrons that ping-pong off defects, dissipating energy as they go. Superconductors, by contrast, [..]

Ingestible Wirelessly Powered Electronics Devices By: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office April 30, 2017 Researchers at MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory have devised a way to wirelessly power small electronic devices that can linger in the digestive tract indefinitely after being swallowed. Such [..]

Genetics are key to hormone therapy lowering risk of broken bones in older women Source: David J. Hill | BUFFALO, N.Y. April 24, 2017  Women at the highest genetic risk for fracture benefit the most from hormone therapy, according to a first-of-its-kind study led by researchers at the University at Buffalo. [..]

Stronger Polymers: By A Simple & New Method  Source: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office April 24, 2017 Plastic, rubber, and many other useful materials are made of polymers — long chains arranged in a cross-linked network. At the molecular level, these polymer networks contain structural flaws that weaken them. [..]

Graphene As a “Copy Machine: Breakthrough For Cheaper Semiconductor Wafers Source: Jennifer Chu | MIT News Office April 23, 2017 In 2016, annual global semiconductor sales reached their highest-ever point, at $339 billion worldwide. In that same year, the semiconductor industry spent about $7.2 billion worldwide on wafers that serve [..]

Novel Lens For Super-Resolution Imaging Source: NUS News April 21, 2017 The optical microscope is a critical equipment for scientific research and failure inspection in high precision industries. However, for centuries, the imaging resolution of microscopes is fundamentally limited by the diffraction limit of light. Existing efforts to break this [..]

Breakthrough In Gene-Editing  Source: SNU Media April 17, 2017 Professor Kim Jin-Soo and training researcher Kim Daesik, both of the Department of Chemistry, were part of a research team at the Center for Genomic Engineering, within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), that proved that a newly developed gene editing [..]

No More Painful Biopsies For Myeloma Patients: MIT Research By: Jennifer Chu | MIT News Office April 15, 2017 Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, which are white blood cells produced in bone marrow that churn out antibodies to help fight infection. When plasma cells become cancerous, [..]

Microscopes from droplets: MIT Research Source: Jennifer Chu | MIT News Office March 25, 2017 Liquid droplets are natural magnifiers. Look inside a single drop of water, and you are likely to see a reflection of the world around you, close up and distended as you’d see in a crystal [..]
