This innovation will help remove rust that could inhibit a battery from performing well. A group of researchers found a new way to develop mobile phone batteries that may last longer than expected, up to three times more than their intended timeline.
This year’s most popular MIT research stories cover the detection of radio signals from space, a new battery design, and the entrepreneurial activity of immigrants in the U.S.
A new study by MIT engineers shows how shaving can damage blades. Human hair, 50 times softer than steel, can chip away a razor’s edge, the engineers found.
MIT and IBM researchers develop an efficient machine learning method that uses chemical knowledge to create a learnable grammar with production rules to build new, synthesizable monomers and polymers.
MIT researchers are trying a new concept to harness the Moon's natural charge to keep hovering rovers in the air. In the absence of an atmosphere, the Moon and asteroids build an electric field through direct exposure to the Sun. On the Moon, this strong surface charge can levitate dust more than one metre above the ground.
