New MIT research shows how wealthier neighbourhoods enjoy more tree shade, exposing global heat inequality and offering solutions for fairer urban cooling.
MIT engineers have developed a stretchable material heat conduction system that can rapidly switch how heat flows, enabling adaptive cooling applications.
Early life on Earth has found an interetsing turning point. A new study by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that some of Earth’s earliest...
Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed, for the first time, fluid-like wakes created by quarks moving through quark–gluon plasma, offering direct evidence that the...
Two giant planets, made of the same elements, display radically different storms at their poles. New research from MIT now suggests that the key to this...
Under what conditions can ammonia truly become a low-carbon energy solution? MIT researchers attempt to resolve this
MIT scientists say a hidden feature of the atmosphere is allowing dangerous humid heat to build up in parts of the world that were once considered...
A new study finds that policy choices on expanding the U.S. electricity grid could either make the system cheaper and cleaner or more reliable against extreme...
New observations reveal a towering column of superheated gas and confirm long-suspected features of a rare “intermediate polar” system.
MIT researchers have developed a breakthrough algorithm that identifies the smallest dataset needed to guarantee optimal decisions in complex real-world systems.
