About 18 months ago, I wrote about an MIT project in which computer models demonstrated that graphene could act as a filter in the desalination of water through the reverse osmosis (RO) method. RO is slightly less energy intensive than the ...
Electron microscopy and spectroscopy are great tools for peering into matter on the molecular scale. But they’re not terribly effective if that matter happens to be biological. Researchers at the University of Illinois in Chicago ...

Researchers have tried a variety of methods to develop detectors that are responsive to a broad range of infrared light—which could form imaging arrays for security systems, or solar cells that harness a broader range of sunlight's ...
In 2000, five MIT Media Lab alumni co-founded ThingMagic to help bring radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology—wireless readers and data-transmitting tags—to the supply chain. This meant companies would be able to track ...
