MIT engineers designed an implantable device that carries islet cells along with its own on-board oxygen factory to keep the cells healthy.

With NASA planning more missions to space in the future, scientists are studying how to mitigate health hazards that come with space flight.

Researchers create a device with piezoelectric transducers that enables battery-free underwater communication.

Rockets are big because they require enormous amounts of fuel. SpinLaunch’s method does away with much of that by hurling payloads into space.

MIT engineers have used DNA origami scaffolds to create structured arrays of quantum rods, which could be incorporated into LEDs.

Scientists have created a simple superconducting device that could transfer current through electronic devices much more efficiently.

The first example of metal healing itself, repairing tiny cracks caused by metal fatigue, could lead to an engineering revolution.

The intricate designs of termite mounds show how to maintain a comfortable climate, without using any power.

A group of Korean scientists are claiming the first superconductor that works in our everyday environment. Is it real?

The holy grail of superconductor science is to find a superconductor at room temperature and standard pressure conditions. Is LK-99 the first?
