MIT Spinout 247Solar Constructs High-Temperature Concentrated Solar Power Systems with Overnight…
As remarkable as the rise of solar and wind farms has been over the last 20 years, achieving complete decarbonization is going to require a host of complementary technologies. That’s because renewables offer only intermittent power. They…
MIT Unveils New Framework Explaining Emergence of Thought from Coordinated Neural Activity and Brain…
It could be very informative to observe the pixels on your phone under a microscope, but not if your goal is to understand what a whole video on the screen shows. Cognition is much the same kind of emergent property in the brain. It can…
Bringing Research to Life: Science Communication Competition Bridges the Gap to the Real World
Laurence Willemet remembers countless family dinners where curious faces turned to her with shades of the same question: “What is it, exactly, that you do with robots?”
It’s a familiar scenario for MIT students exploring topics…
Nuno Loureiro Appointed Director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center
Nuno Loureiro, professor of nuclear science and engineering and of physics, has been appointed the new director of the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, effective May 1.
Loureiro is taking the helm of one of MIT’s largest…
MIT Harnesses Natural Language to Enhance LLM Performance in Coding, Planning, and Robotics
Large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly useful for programming and robotics tasks, but for more complicated reasoning problems, the gap between these systems and humans looms large. Without the ability to learn new…
MIT Advances Research, Careers, and Community in Materials Science through Expanded MICRO Internship…
Gabrielle Wood, a junior at Howard University majoring in chemical engineering, is on a mission to improve the sustainability and life cycles of natural resources and materials. Her work in the Materials Initiative for Comprehensive…
MIT Research: Epigenomic Analysis Illuminates Risk Factors for ALS
For most patients, it’s unknown exactly what causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease characterized by degeneration of motor neurons that impairs muscle control and eventually leads to death.
Studies have identified certain…
MIT Celebrates Three Scholars Named Goldwater Scholars for 2024-25
MIT students Ben Lou, Srinath Mahankali, and Kenta Suzuki have been selected to receive Barry Goldwater Scholarships for the 2024-25 academic year. They are among just 438 recipients from across the country selected based on…
Pushing Boundaries: MIT Mechanical Engineering Grad Students Lead Innovative Research Projects
From cutting-edge robotics, design, and bioengineering to sustainable energy solutions, ocean engineering, nanotechnology, and innovative materials science, MechE students and their advisors are doing incredibly innovative work. The…
MIT Conductive Concrete Consortium Secures Five-Year Research Agreement with Japanese Industry
The MIT Electron-conductive Cement-based Materials Hub (EC^3 Hub), an outgrowth of the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub), has been established by a five-year sponsored research agreement with the Aizawa Concrete Corp. In…
