Researchers have 3D-printed an all-liquid device that, with the click of a button, can be repeatedly reconfigured on demand to serve a wide range of applications – from making battery materials to screening drug candidates.

Researchers have discovered a way to control the direction of electron spin in a cobalt-iron alloy, influencing its magnetic properties. The result could have implications for more powerful and energy-efficient materials for information storage.

Scientists have produced a new, less invasive platform that uses nanomaterials and may help heal damage in patients who had a heart attack by turning the body's inflammatory response into a signal to heal, rather than a means of scarring the heart.

Ovarian cancer is usually diagnosed only after it has reached an advanced stage, and most patients undergo surgery to remove as many of these tumors as possible. But because some tumors are so small and widespread, it is difficult to eradicate all of them. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have now developed a way to improve the accuracy of this surgery and remove tumors as small as 0.3 millimeters — smaller than a poppy seed — during surgery in mice.

Researchers have found a way to make synthetic hydrogels act like muscles by putting them through a vigorous workout. After being mechanically trained in a water bath, the hydrogels became pliant, soft, and resistant to breakdown.
