Farthest Individual Star Ever Seen

Farthest Individual Star Ever Seen

More than halfway across the universe, an enormous blue star nicknamed Icarus is the farthest individual star ever seen. Normally, it would be much too faint to view, even with the world’s largest telescopes. Through a quirk of nature that tremendously amplifies the star’s feeble glow, however, astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope were able to pinpoint this faraway star. They also used Icarus to test a theory of dark matter, and to probe the makeup of a foreground galaxy cluster.

Probiotic bacteria can diagnose, prevent, and treat infections

Probiotic bacteria can diagnose, prevent, and treat infections

MIT engineers have developed a probiotic mix of natural and engineered a probiotic bacteria to diagnose and treat cholera, an intestinal infection that causes severe dehydration. Cholera outbreaks are usually caused by contaminated drinking water, and infections can turn fatal if not treated.

Magnetic 3D Printing Biomedical Devices

Magnetic 3D Printing Biomedical Devices

MIT engineers have created soft, 3D-printed structures whose movements can be controlled with a wave of a magnet, much like marionettes without the strings. The menagerie of structures that can be magnetically manipulated includes a smooth ring that wrinkles up, a long tube that squeezes shut, a sheet that folds itself, and a spider-like “grabber” that can crawl, roll, jump, and snap together fast enough to catch a passing ball.

Thin-Film Transistors Made Easy with AHPCS Shearing Blade

Thin-Film Transistors Made Easy with AHPCS Shearing Blade

A flexible, durable and solvent-resistance inorganic polymer. (Allylhybridpolycarbosilane or AHPCS) was used to fabricate the microstructured AHPCS shearing blade. The wet-ability of the AHPCS micropillar surface is tunable. By controlling the shearing rate and the substrate temperature, crystal growth can occur along the moving blade.
