MIT engineers have developed a new way to amplify the T-cell response to mRNA vaccines—an advance that could lead to much more powerful cancer vaccines and stronger protection against infectious ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a sodium-air fuel cell that could power future transportation, including electric aircraft. The fuel cell approach ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Converting one type of cell to another — for example, a skin cell to a neuron — can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a “pluripotent” stem cell, ...

In a breakthrough cancer therapy development, scientists at MIT and Harvard Medical School created a new way of designing immune cells that could make “off-the-shelf” cancer medications more potent ...

Living cells receive and transmit molecular signals in complex patterns, and imaging those patterns effectively using fluorescence techniques can be challenging. Imaging many signals at once in the ...

Researchers at MIT and Harvard University have developed an efficient process that can convert carbon dioxide into formate. Formate, in its liquid or solid form can be used to power a fuel cell and ...

An MIT-led team revealed a “guidebook” for how to tune surface properties of perovskites, a silicon alternative – here’s why that’s huge for solar. Perovskite solar cells, inspired by the mineral with ...
