- The age-old problem of long-term careInformal help is a huge share of elder care in the U.S., a burden that is only set to expand. A new book explores different countries’ solutions.
- Study of facial bacteria could lead to probiotics that promote healthy skinDuring the early teen years, many new strains of C. acnes colonize the skin on our faces. This could be an optimal time for probiotic treatment.
- Making AI models more trustworthy for high-stakes settingsA new method helps convey uncertainty more precisely, which could give researchers and medical clinicians better information to make decisions.
- MIT engineers advance toward a fault-tolerant quantum computerResearchers achieved a type of coupling between artificial atoms and photons that could enable readout and processing of quantum information in a few nanoseconds.
- Will the vegetables of the future be fortified using tiny needles?Researchers showed they can inexpensively produce silk microneedles to deliver vitamins or agrochemicals to plants.
- Gene circuits enable more precise control of gene therapyThe circuits could help researchers develop new treatments for fragile X syndrome and other diseases caused by mutations of a single gene.
