A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study in mice has identified a pivotal new player in triggering the rapid antidepressant response produced by ketamine, a drug used in human and veterinary medicine.

A team of researchers from MIT, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and the University of California at San Diego have designed a new type of delivery system in which a first wave of nanoparticles homes in on the tumor, then calls in a much larger second wave that dispenses the cancer drug.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and their collaborators have come up with an unusual, highly efficient and possibly less expensive way of turning the sun’s heat into electricity.

A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found a way to manipulate both the thermal conductivity and the electrical conductivity of materials simply by changing the external conditions, such as the surrounding temperature.

In a new study, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have successfully identified a single mutation in the H1N1 genetic make-up. This mutation would allow the virus to be transmitted between people much more easily.
