How to help high schoolers prepare for the rise of artificial intelligence
A one-week summer program aims to foster a deeper understanding of machine-learning approaches in health among curious young minds.
AI helps robots manipulate objects with their whole bodies
With a new technique, a robot can reason efficiently about moving objects using more than just its fingertips.
Bringing sustainable and affordable electricity to all
MIT Energy Initiative spinoff Waya Energy helps countries work toward universal access to electricity.
Planning algorithm enables high-performance flight
With this new approach, a tailsitter aircraft, ideal for search-and-rescue missions, can plan and execute complex, high-speed acrobatic maneuvers.
Machine-learning system based on light could yield more powerful, efficient large language models
MIT system demonstrates greater than 100-fold improvement in energy efficiency and a 25-fold improvement in compute density compared with current systems.
MIT engineers use kirigami to make ultrastrong, lightweight structures
Produced with techniques borrowed from Japanese paper-cutting, the strong metal lattices are lighter than cork and have customizable mechanical properties.
M'Care and MIT students join forces to improve child health in Nigeria
The effort aims to transform micronutrient dosing to children by harnessing the power of data.
Artificial intelligence for augmentation and productivity
The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing awards seed grants to seven interdisciplinary projects exploring AI-augmented management.
To improve solar and other clean energy tech, look beyond hardware
A new study finds system deployment processes have been slow to improve over time — but must be addressed to lower clean energy costs in the future.
The tenured engineers of 2023
Nine faculty members have been granted tenure in six units across MIT’s School of Engineering.
MIT researchers combine deep learning and physics to fix motion-corrupted MRI scans
The challenge involves more than just a blurry JPEG. Fixing motion artifacts in medical imaging requires a more sophisticated approach.
How machine-learning models can amplify inequities in medical diagnosis and treatment
MIT researchers investigate the causes of health care disparities among underrepresented groups.
Summer research offers a springboard to advanced studies
Three graduate students forged a path to the same Picower Institute lab through participating in the MIT Summer Research Program in Biology and Neuroscience.
Invisible tagging system enhances 3D object tracking
Developed by MIT researchers, BrightMarkers are invisible fluorescent tags embedded in physical objects to enhance motion tracking, virtual reality, and object detection.
