鈥 new tablets allow oral cancer drugs to be delivered more steadily into the bloodstream, to improve effectiveness and reduce side effects. 鈥淲e believe this is a more efficient and effective way to deliver drugs,鈥 Aron Blaesi PhD 鈥14 says.
Why do some quantum materials scale 鈥 making it into computer hard drives, TV screens, and medical diagnostics 鈥 while others stall? MIT researchers evaluated quantum materials鈥 potential for commercial success, and identified promising candidates.
Giorgio Rizzo harnesses plant chemistry to design sustainable fertilizers that could reshape modern farming. He aims to bring these innovations from lab to market at a low cost, helping farmers boost crop yields without compromising soil health.
MIT researchers developed a method that can predict how plasma will behave in a tokamak reactor given a set of initial conditions. The findings may have 鈥渓owered one of the major barriers to achieving large-scale nuclear fusion,鈥 Gizmodo wrote.

One new weapon against cancer is a type of engineered immune cell known as CAR-NK cells, which can be tuned to attack cancer cells. Researchers have come up with a new way to make CAR-NK cells less likely to be rejected by a patient鈥檚 immune system.
In a world without MIT, radar wouldn鈥檛 have been available to help win World War II. We might not have email, CT scans, time-release drugs, photolithography, or GPS. And we鈥檇 lose over 30,000 companies, employing millions of people. Can you imagine?
鈥婼ince its founding, MIT has been key to helping American science and innovation lead the world. Discoveries that begin here generate jobs and power the economy 鈥 and what we create today builds a better tomorrow for all of us.
