Next-Gen Superconductors MIT physicists have observed key evidence of unconventional superconductivity in a special form of graphene. The findings may guide the design of superconductors that work at room temperature, “which is sort of the Holy Grail of the entire field,” Professor Pablo Jarillo-Herrero says.

Why is getting diagnosed so hard? // Science Friday Professor Linda Griffith discusses her work studying endometriosis. “I did a lot of things in the regenerative medicine space, but I had an epiphany that there’s so many chronic and inflammatory disease that we don’t know how to treat. I started building models of human organs and tissues in the lab using what we called microfluidic chips,” Griffith explains. “When I got asked about endometriosis, it was actually a perfect application for this kind of approach because we really need to study the lesions very carefully in the lab in ways that are very hard to study in patients.” Full story via Science Friday → This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by a Halloween-haul throwdown. 🍫 Thanks for reading, and have a lovely weekend! —MIT News Forward This Email Subscribe This email was sent to rh3252705.pese@blogger.com because of your affiliation with MIT, or because you signed up for our newsletters. subscribe update preferences unsubscribe view in browser MIT News Office · 77 Massachusetts Avenue · Cambridge, MA 02139 · USA
