The latest in a series of laboratory breakthroughs could lead to a more effective way to treat the most common brain cancer in children.
University Research | The University of North Carolina at Chapel HillAs the world changes and diversifies, so do family dynamics. But research on the topic is slow to move away from the ideas established 50 years ago.
University Research | The University of North Carolina at Chapel HillA new MIT study proposes that laser technology on Earth could be fashioned into something of a planetary porch light — a beacon strong enough to attract extraterrestrial intelligence from as far as 20,000 light years away.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyA senior biomedical engineering student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill helped a seven-year-old boy born without fully formed fingers on his left hand by designing and developing a prosthetic hand for him using a 3-D printer.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill | MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever airplane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” that is produced aboard the plane.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT researchers have developed a neural-network model that can analyze raw text and audio data from interviews to discover speech patterns indicative of depression.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT’s Cheetah 3 robot can climb stairs and step over obstacles without the help of cameras or visual sensors.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT researchers report that they have found a way to break spaghetti in two, by both bending and twisting the dry noodles. The researchers say the results may have applications beyond culinary curiosities.
University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyKarina Javalkar has spent the last three years as an undergraduate researcher in the UNC Health Care Transition Program. Under School of Medicine professor Maria Ferris, Javalkar studies the transition from pediatric to adult care for adolescents and young adults with chronic illnesses, especially…
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill | Dentists at the UNC School of Dentistry are now using a technique called autotransplantation to relocate a child’s “throwaway” tooth — such as a wisdom tooth — to another spot in their mouth and repair their smiles.
