CSAIL researchers developed a single AI model that simulates many different physical processes, from flowing water to folding proteins. By learning how matter moves, the system could assist with developing soft robots, medicines, and more.
Engineers have developed a nanoscale particle for delivering personalized cancer vaccines. The particle could be adapted to carry many different antigens, to potentially prevent or treat individual patients’ tumors.
Engineers designed a robotic enteroscope that can move easily through the narrow passage of the small intestine. They hope to deploy it to perform imaging, deliver drugs, and remove small polyps or tissue samples for biopsy.
Founded by Jake Jurewicz ’14, SM ’15, Blue Energy plans to manufacture giant pieces of nuclear reactors at shipyards and ship them on barges for final assembly. The startup aims to rejuvenate the nuclear power industry with a new manufacturing approach.
An MIT spinout is making surgical stitching more like applying tape: SanaHeal has developed a biologically compatible adhesive that sticks to wet tissues. Its product was inspired by sticky materials in nature, like barnacles and spider webs.
