Making it Stick

MechE spinoff company provides farmers with a new system, which could significantly cut their use of pesticides and fertilizers, saving money and reducing runoff.

Making it Stick

Artificial Tissue

An artificial, muscle-powered structure pulls both concentrically and radially, much like how the iris in the human eye acts to dilate and constrict the pupil.

MechE Foundations

In the Spring 2025 issue of MechE Connects, our departmental magazine, we explore MechE’s history and celebrate people, spaces, and ideas that have shaped our department and field through the years.

MechE Foundations

A Robot With a Mission

Launched by MIT Sea Grant, SeaPerch and SeaPerch II have had a big impact on young learners interested in ocean science and engineering

Fluid Evolution

High-speed videos of a droplet splashing into a pool could help predict how rainstorms and irrigation systems may impact watery surfaces and aerosolize surface particles in agricultural runoff.
