Brain scans can predict the success of social anxiety disorder treatment
For patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD), current behavioral and pharmaceutical treatments work about half the time. After weeks of investment in therapy, about half of patients will likely still suffer with…
MIT designed a bipedal robot “HERMES” for disaster response
MIT‘s two-legged robot named HERMES is wreaking controlled havoc: punching through drywall, smashing soda cans, kicking over trash buckets, and karate-chopping boards in half. The robots actions, however, are not its own….
MIT team creates a superfluid gas in a record-high magnetic field
MIT physicists have created a superfluid gas, the so-called Bose-Einstein condensate, for the first time in an extremely high magnetic field. The magnetic field is a synthetic magnetic field, generated using laser…
MIT designed an inexpensive fusion reactor that boosts power by tenfold
Advances in magnet technology have enabled researchers at MIT to propose a new design for a practical compact tokamak (donut-shaped) fusion reactor. Using these new commercially available superconductors, rare-earth barium copper oxide…
