The materials’ stiffness increases up to 40 percent, in a reversible effect, the researchers report in a study that also explains the phenomenon's atomic origins.
A new summary of the best available research published in the internationally recognized Cochrane Library shows that planned hospital births can do more harm than good.
An MIT-developed device with the appearance of a Wi-Fi router uses a neural network to discern the presence and severity of one of the fastest-growing neurological diseases in the world.
Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center dataset aims to accelerate AI research into managing and optimizing high-performance computing systems.
MIT researchers find that changing the pH of a system solves a decades-old problem.
Study finds computer models that predict molecular interactions need improvement before they can help identify drug mechanisms of action.
Assistant Professor Ariel Furst and her colleagues are looking to DNA to help guide the process.
Researchers develop a new method that uses multiple models to create more complex images with better understanding.
While observing a newly-dormant galaxy using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), scientists discovered that it had stopped forming stars not because it had used up all of its gas but because most of its star-forming fuel had been thrown out of the system as it merged with another galaxy.
The James Webb Space Telescope is helping astronomers characterize the atmospheres of planets very different from those in our solar system
During midterm elections this November, voters across the country will head to the polls to decide who should represent them for the next two years in the U.S. House of Representatives
Relying on evaporation and radiation — but not electricity — the system could keep food fresh longer or supplement air conditioning in buildings.
Economics Professor Robert Fairlie received the Bradford-Osborne Research Award for the second year in a row.
An analysis of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes finds that recombination of the virus is uncommon, but when it occurs, it is most often in the spike protein region, the area which allows the virus to attach to and infect host cells.
As rates of youth mental health issues soar in the United States, new research offers surprising insights into how social factors affect trends for LGBTQ+ youth, who are especially at risk due to the harmful effects of discrimination.
Addressing “gateways within gateway courses,” specific factors that hold able students back from success in introductory courses, may provide a path forward for closing equity gaps for students pursuing engineering degrees.
By continuously monitoring a patient’s gait speed, the system can assess the condition’s severity between visits to the doctor’s office.
Researchers with UC Santa Cruz’s ecological aquaculture facility have developed a new life cycle sustainability assessment documenting the environmental benefits and impacts of using the marine microalga Schizochytrium sp. as an alternative aquaculture feed ingredient to replace fish oil sourced from wild-caught forage fish.
Researchers created a system that lets robots effectively use grasped tools with the correct amount of force.
A machine-learning method finds patterns of health decline in ALS, informing future clinical trial designs and mechanism discovery. The technique also extends to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
