Here’s what ARPA-H’s $25.8 million support for UC San Diego means: Prof. Shaochen Chen’s team, under the PRINT program, aims to use 3D bioprinting, AI vascular design, and iPSC cells to create a patient-compatible liver and reduce waiting lists, the need for donors, and lifelong immunosuppression in the U.S.
Learn how Hurricane Melissa, before its devastating strike on Jamaica, lifted sediment from Pedro Bank and tinted the Caribbean Sea Maya blue. NASA Earth Observatory explains what Terra/MODIS reveals about currents, the ecosystem, and the carbon cycle.
Find out what the new MIT Energy Initiative study, published in Energy & Environmental Science, brings: the largest global database compares the cost and emissions of ammonia supply chains in 63 countries, including logistics and trade routes, and clarifies the trade-off between blue and green ammonia.
Learn how the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, over a decade of continuous radar measurements, reshaped our understanding of ice motion in Greenland and Antarctica, why glacier speeds are crucial for projecting global sea-level rise, and how new satellites and ROSE-L expand monitoring capabilities.
Find out how an MIT study in the journal Science Advances links atmospheric inversion to how long a humid heat wave lasts in the midlatitudes and how strong the storms that may follow can be. We explain what this means for forecasts, heat stress, and the risk of sudden downpours—especially in regions like the U.S. Midwest and East Asia.
Find out how MIT physicists link the seemingly incompatible superconductivity and magnetism through exotic quasiparticles called anyons. We bring an overview of new experiments in rhombohedral graphene and twisted MoTe2 and explain why anyonic quantum matter could change the development of quantum technologies.
