“If their DNA could be retrained, maybe microbes could deliver nitrogen directly to wheat, corn, and other crops when it’s most needed.” Chris Voigt is helping turn that idea into reality by engineering microbes to work harder and smarter. Read his story:

Inspired by vines’ twisty tenacity, engineers have developed a robotic gripper that can snake around and lift objects. The robot can safely and stably lift a variety of heavy and fragile items; a larger version can safely lift a human out of bed.

A new filtration material could provide a nature-based solution to water contamination by PFAS, or “forever chemicals.” Based on natural silk and cellulose, the material can remove a wide variety of these chemicals as well as heavy metals.

Every year, about 85,000 Americans are diagnosed with bladder cancer. While treatment is often successful, bladder cancer has one of the highest rates of recurrence of any cancer. MIT researchers have now developed a new way to regularly monitor those patients, which could enable regrowing tumors to be detected much earlier.

The vibration of an atom is nature’s steadiest timekeeper; today’s atomic clocks underpin GPS, communications, and electronics worldwide. “But we and other scientists are constantly refining and chasing even more perfect time,” Vladan Vuletić says.
