MIT’s new two-in-one space engine could turn tiny satellites into surprisingly capable deep-space explorers. Researchers at MIT are testing a new propulsion technology that could give small satellites a major boost in capability. The system combines two very different forms of spacecraft propulsion in a single package, allowing satellites to perform both rapid maneuvers and [...]
In a new MIT study – in partnership with Purdue, Northwestern, and Duke universities – chemists have discovered that inserting weaker bonds into polystyrene actually makes the material more resistant to damage.

Engineers at MIT have successfully tested a hybrid propulsion system for small satellites that combines the raw punch of chemical rockets with the long-haul efficiency of electric thrusters – and crucially, both run on the same fuel. This tech could propel cheap, briefcase-sized spacecraft to Mars and beyond.

A new MIT-designed lidar chip uses specially engineered antennas to reduce interference and widen the sensor’s field of view. From self-driving cars navigating busy streets to drones surveying disaster zones, lidar has become one of the most important technologies for helping machines perceive the world in three dimensions. By sending out rapid pulses of infrared [...]

A decades-old patent from MIT Professor Bill Freeman inspired the new “Y-zipper,” a three-sided fastener that can snap gear, robots, and art into shape with the push of a button. Long before shape-shifting robots and self-assembling structures became engineering goals, one MIT professor had already imagined a zipper that could transform floppy materials into rigid [...]
A patent filed in 1985 is being dusted off as a source of inspiration for a new 3D-printed triangular-shaped zipper that seamlessly fastens chairs, tents, robots and purses, making them simpler to pack and set up just with a press of a button.

A long-standing mystery in materials science is beginning to unravel as researchers directly probe the hidden atomic complexity of relaxor ferroelectrics. Relaxor ferroelectrics have been used for decades in technologies such as ultrasound equipment, microphones, and sonar systems. Their unusual behavior is rooted in their atomic structure, but researchers have long been unable to measure [...]
過去に向けた情報送信というと、多くの人は「SFの領域」と考えるはずです。 しかしMITなどで行われた研究により、理論上は過去に向かって情報を送ることが可能であるばかりか、過去に向かって送るほうが、ふつうに未来へ送るよりも「効率がいい」場合があることが数学的に示されました。 発想の源は、宇宙論と物理学をリアルに描いたSF映画『インターステラー』であり、論文では過去に向けた通信場面を取り入れた解説も行われています。 さらに論文の参考文献には『バック・トゥ・ザ・フューチャー』の登場人物の名前も並んでいます。 ここまで遊び心が溢れていながら、論文は物理学のトップ誌『Physical Review Letters』の審査に通り掲載が決定しています（2026年4月14日に受理）。 しかし、過去への通信が未来への通信に勝るとは、いったいどういうことなのでしょうか？
Once fusion energy achieves commercial success, Mumgaard envisions a high demand, especially in countries like Japan, South Korea, and Singapore that are attracted to an energy source that uses so little land and natural resources, ends dependency on LNG delivered by tankers, and avoids the threats of nuclear weapons being cobbled together from plutonium.

MIT researchers found that chaotic laser light can transform into a precise, stable beam. This breakthrough enables much faster, high-resolution imaging of how drugs move into the brain.

A hidden chemical leak may be quietly delaying the ozone layer’s comeback. The Montreal Protocol, signed in 1987, is widely considered one of the most effective environmental agreements ever implemented. It has driven a global phaseout of chemicals that once damaged the ozone layer and increased risks such as skin cancer and other health problems. [...]

Despite decades of technological progress, robots still can’t move as smoothly as humans – they drop objects, and struggle to pick them up properly. Scientists have been trying to teach robots to move with the same precision as humans, but hand movement is more complex than it might seem at first glance. Even a simple action, like holding and scrolling your phone, uses dozens of small muscles,…
By many estimates, quantum computers will need millions of qubits to realize their potential in applications in cybersecurity, drug development, and other industries. The problem is, anyone who has wanted to simultaneously control millions of a certain kind of qubits has run into the problem of trying to control millions of laser beams.
That’s exactly the challenge scientists from MIT, the…
