MIT announces 2022 Bose grants for ambitious ideas
Tenth anniversary of the program rewards three innovative projects.
Nanoparticle sensor can distinguish between viral and bacterial pneumonia
Using this diagnostic, doctors could avoid prescribing antibiotics in cases where they won’t be effective.
Engineers build LEGO-like artificial intelligence chip
The new design is stackable and reconfigurable, for swapping out and building on existing sensors and neural network processors.
Researchers discover a new hardware vulnerability in the Apple M1 chip
CSAIL scientists’ novel hardware attack against the Apple M1 chip defeats the last line of security while leaving no trace.
Student-powered machine learning
Recent MEng graduates reflect on their application-focused research as affiliates of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab.
QS ranks MIT the world’s No. 1 university for 2022-23
Earning the top spot for the 11th straight year, the Institute also places first in 12 subject areas.
MIT unveils new Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel
A state-of-the-art facility replaces a nearly 80-year-old campus landmark to become the most advanced wind tunnel in U.S. academia.
Collin Stultz named co-director and MIT lead of the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology
MIT professor will leverage his research into machine learning and computer science, as well as his role as a practicing cardiologist, toward educating clinician-scientists and engineers.
Study finds natural sources of air pollution exceed air quality guidelines in many regions
MIT research highlights the opportunity to rethink global air quality guidelines.
Faster computing results without fear of errors
Researchers developed a new system that can make computer programs run faster, while guaranteeing accuracy.
Students imagine better products, services, and infrastructure for an aging society
Projects from a new MIT urban studies and planning course speak to the impact of increased longevity on systems and markets.
Hallucinating to better text translation
A machine-learning method imagines what a sentence visually looks like, to situate and ground its semantics in the real world, improving translation, like humans can.
Molecules found in mucus can thwart fungal infection
Harnessing the strength of these specialized sugar molecules could help researchers develop new antifungal drugs.
Helping dairy farmers raise healthy cows
Labby has developed an optical milk scanner based on materials-sensing technology that dairy farmers can use to measure the health of their cows.
Making data visualization more accessible for blind and low-vision individuals
Researchers have created prototypes that enable screen-reader users to quickly and easily navigate through multiple levels of information in an online chart.
