MIT researchers and collaborators have directly characterized the three-dimensional atomic and polar structure of a relaxor ferroelectric using a technique called multislice electron ptychography, reporting that key polarization features are smaller than leading simulations predicted—results that could help refine models used to design future sensing, computing and energy devices.
Physicists at MIT have developed a theoretical technique inspired by the film Interstellar to send messages backwards in time using quantum entanglement. The approach mimics closed time-like curves and surprisingly improves communication through noisy channels. While actual time travel remains impossible, the idea could enhance conventional systems.

Researchers affiliated with MIT argue that transcranial focused ultrasound—a noninvasive technique that can modulate activity in deep brain regions—could enable more direct, cause-and-effect tests of how conscious experiences arise. In a “roadmap” review in *Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews*, they describe experimental approaches aimed at distinguishing between competing accounts of where and how awareness is generated in the brain.
