MIT’s new defect sealing technique may enable faster, more durable water filters
Engineers at MIT, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) have successfully sealed leaks in graphene in a two-step process. This new defect sealing technique may…
MIT researchers Magnifying Vibrations in bridges and buildings
To the naked eye, buildings and bridges appear fixed in place, unmoved by forces like wind and rain. But in fact, these large structures do experience imperceptibly small vibrations that, depending on…
New wearable device NailO turns your thumbnail into a wireless track pad
Researchers at the MIT Media Laboratory are developing a prototype of a new wearable device NailO that turns the user’s thumbnail into a miniature wireless track pad. The device was inspired by…
Researchers developed new kind of “Tandem” solar cells
Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a new kind of solar cell that combines two different layers of sunlight-absorbing material in order to harvest a broader range of the sun’s…
