Scientists at MIT discovered that chaotic laser light can spontaneously form a highly focused beam instead of scattering—if ...

MIT scientists have engineered a revolutionary brain imaging tool, converting chaotic laser light into a focused beam. This ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new MIT capsule can ping a confirmation signal within 10 minutes of swallowing, then largely breaks down, aiming to improve ...

MIT researchers discovered a paradoxical phenomenon in optical physics that could enable a new bioimaging method that's ...

The ozone layer has been on track to recover thanks to the Montreal Protocol—but a loophole may be holding it back. Chemicals ...

Inside most photonic chips, light races through tiny optical wires. It carries information far faster than electricity can in many conventional systems. But once that light is trapped on the chip, ...

Schematic model showing how memory is consolidated in the prefrontal cortex and how circuitry through the amygdala shifts as hippocampal engram cells become silent and cortical engrams become active.

NPR's Rob Schmitz speaks with L. Rafael Reif, former president of MIT, about his recent essay in Foreign Affairs, "America Is Losing the Innovation Race: Why the Future of Science Might Be Chinese." ...

After a surprising discovery that overcomes a longstanding problem in fiber optics, MIT researchers demonstrated a biomedical ...

Missing a dose can feel small in the moment. But in transplant care, HIV, tuberculosis, and many heart conditions, a skipped pill can carry a heavy price. That gap between what a doctor prescribes and ...
