Detailed study of high-temperature superconducting magnets built by MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems confirms they meet requirements for an economic, compact fusion power plant. In the predawn hours of September 5, 2021, engineers achieved a major milestone in the labs of MIT's Plasma Science

Chemical engineers at MIT have developed a new material that's stronger than steel and as light as plastic - and it might one day protect your smartphone, support new buildings, hold up bridges, and more. Polymerization 101: Under the right conditions, small molecules called "monomers" will connect to form chains called "polymers."

MIT engineers have developed a paper-thin loudspeaker that can turn any surface into an active audio source.
