Mimicking cells with transistors
Analog — rather than digital — circuits could enable models of biological systems that are more efficient, more accurate and easier to build.

Smarter robot arms
A combination of two algorithms developed at MIT allows autonomous robots to execute tasks much more efficiently — and move more predictably.
Five from MIT win NIH grants
Grants support biomedical research that will ‘challenge the status quo’ with risk-taking, innovative ideas.
‘I speak MISTI’
MIT program sends students abroad for experiences tailor-made for their academic and professional interests.
Building chips from collapsing nanopillars
By turning a common problem in chip manufacture into an advantage, MIT researchers produce structures only 30 atoms wide.
Movies of electrons
Lasers that emit pulses lasting a quintillionth of a second could characterize the behavior of individual electrons during chemical reactions.
After almost 20 years, math problem falls
MIT researchers’ answer to a major question in the field of optimization brings disappointing news — but there’s a silver lining.
