Watching a metal transform into a superconductor, it may not be obvious that
this transition provides access to some of the same physics that governed the
cooling of the universe following the Big Bang. Yet at the root of both of these...

In the 2,000 or so years since the Roman Empire employed a naturally
occurring form of cement to build a vast system of concrete aqueducts and other
large edifices, researchers have analyzed the molecular structure of natural
materials and...

This Research
introduces a DC motor drive system with a fuzzy-artificial neural-network
controller. First, a neural network-based architecture is described for fuzzy
logic control. The characteristic rules and their membership functions of...

Borrowing from Mother Nature, a team of MIT researchers has built a school of
swimming robo-fish that slip through the water just as gracefully as the real
thing, if not quite as fast.
Mechanical engineers Kamal Youcef-Toumi and Pablo...

An accurate map of a large underground oil reservoir that can guide
engineers' efforts to coax the oil from the vast rocky subsurface into wells
where it can be pumped out for storage or transport.

MIT physicists have discovered that several high-temperature superconductors
display patchwork quilt-like variations at the atomic scale, a surprising
finding that could help scientists understand a new class of unconventional
materials....

Lip reading is a critical means of communication for many deaf people, but it
has a drawback: Certain consonants (for example, p and b) can be nearly
impossible to distinguish by sight alone.
Tactile devices, which translate sound...

Folding paper into shapes such as a crane or a butterfly is challenging
enough for most people. Now imagine trying to fold something that's about a
hundred times thinner than a human hair and then putting it to use as an
electronic device....

MIT engineers are using carbon nanotubes only billionths of a meter thick to
stitch together aerospace materials in work that could make airplane skins and
other products some 10 times stronger at a nominal increase in cost.
Moreover,...

MIT engineers have created a kind of beltway that allows for the rapid
transit of electrical energy through a well-known battery material, an advance
that could usher in smaller, lighter batteries -- for cell phones and other
devices -- that...

Modern manufacturing methods are spectacularly inefficient in their use of
energy and materials, according to a detailed MIT analysis of the energy use of
20 major manufacturing processes.
Overall, new manufacturing systems are...

For the first time, MIT engineers and colleagues have observed the initiation
of a mass gathering and subsequent migration of hundreds of millions of animals
-- in this case, fish.
The work, conducted using a novel imaging technique,...

The ubiquitous barcodes found on product packaging provide information to the
scanner at the checkout counter, but that's about all they do. Now, researchers
at the Media Lab have come up with a new kind of very tiny barcode that could...

In a blown-up image from a scanning tunneling microscope, it looks just like
an endless sheet of chicken wire: a simple flat sheet made up of a lattice of
hexagons. But this nanoscopic material called graphene, first generally

Ever since the 1940s, chrome has been used to add a protective coating and
shiny luster to a wide range of metal products, from bathroom fixtures to car
bumpers.
Chrome adds beauty and durability, but those features come at a heavy...
