Analog — rather than digital — circuits could enable models of biological systems that are more efficient, more accurate and easier to build.

A team of researchers at MIT and Children’s Hospital Boston have designed a new cardiac patch that uses gold nanowires to enhance electrical signaling between cells, making it a promising step toward better treatment for heart-attack patients.

Brain-imaging study suggests that reading difficulties are the same regardless of overall intelligence — and that more children could benefit from support in school.

A combination of two algorithms developed at MIT allows autonomous robots to execute tasks much more efficiently — and move more predictably.

Neuroscientists find that Ritalin could help bring surgical patients out of surgery much more quickly, with less grogginess.

MIT forum examines the role of manufacturing in rebuilding the economy.

A new MEMS (microelectromechanical system) device generates energy from small vibrations.

The Production in the Innovation Economy project brings together leading MIT faculty from a variety of disciplines – economics, engineering, political science, management, biology, and others – to look at U.S. industry from different perspectives: national, sectoral, and global.  Learn about the project and today's event.
