Study finds key role for non-neural brain cells in processing vision | MIT researchers employed a novel application of tools and analysis to show that astrocytes ensure neural information processing by maintaining ambient levels of the neurotransmitter chemical GABA.
Study shows mucus contains molecules that block Salmonella infection | MIT researchers now hope to develop synthetic versions of these molecules, which could be used to treat or prevent foodborne illnesses.
New self-assembling material could be the key to recyclable EV batteries | MIT researchers designed an electrolyte that can break apart at the end of a battery’s life, allowing for easier recycling of components.
