An instrument on the Europa Clipper mission might be able to detect biological cells from space.

An MRI method purported to detect neurons’ rapid impulses produces its own misleading signals instead, an MIT study finds.

An elite athlete’s metabolism mostly looks different from a patient with COVID-19 − but their occasional similarities can reveal important insights into health and disease.

MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.

Just as the world’s zoos breed critically endangered animals in captivity to repopulate the wild, scientists are building a global effort to freeze corals for reef restoration.

Researchers also found that a variant of the protein is not as protective against the bacteria and increases susceptibility to the disease.

Joining three teams backed by a total of $75 million, MIT researchers will tackle some of cancer’s toughest challenges.

An evolutionary biologist is studying what these resilient urban pests can teach us about adaptation and evolution.

With the new technique, MIT researchers hope to identify mutations that could be targeted with new cancer therapies.
