Physicists may have created a New Form of Matter
Scientists may have created what appears to be a new form of matter, at CERN‘s Large Hadron Collider. The collisions may have produced a new type of matter known as ‘color-glass condensate.’ A proton collides with a lead nucleus, sending a shower of particles through the CMS detector. Image: CERN

Form 1- an affordable, professional 3D printer
Researchers at the MIT Media Lab created the Form 1 printer, an easy-to-use 3D printer system, that rivals the output of high-end printers at a fraction of the cost.
MIT Autonomous robotic plane flies indoors
MIT researchers have completed a series of flight tests in which an autonomous robotic plane running its way among pillars in the parking garage under MIT‘s Stata Center.

Trillion-frame-per-second video camera (video)
MIT researchers have built a camera with a visual capture rate of one trillion frames per second. That’s fast enough to watch photons travel the length of a one-liter bottle (in the video below).
