Chinese students set their sights on an MIT future
Middle and high school students from Beijing engaged in project-based hands-on science and engineering lessons at the Edgerton Center.
Cell circuits remember their history
MIT engineers design new synthetic biology circuits that combine memory and logic.
Making ‘nanospinning’ practical
Nanofibers have a dizzying range of possible applications, but they’ve been prohibitively expensive to make. MIT researchers hope to change that.
MIT team builds most complex synthetic biology circuit yet
New sensor can detect four different molecules, could be used to program cells to precisely monitor their environments.
Simple mathematical computations underlie brain circuits
Discovery of how some neurons inhibit others could shed light on autism, other neurological disorders.
