From MIT to IBM, expediting AI and quantum deployment
MIT affiliates engage with the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab to bring rigorous theory to production systems.
System helps humans predict when self-driving cars will make mistakes
A new method, called CW-Net, translates the reasoning process of an autonomous vehicle’s AI system into understandable concepts that explain its behavior.
Looking beyond natural sequences
A new machine-learning framework aims to improve the success rate of computational protein design while moving away from results that reproduce sequences found in nature.
New type of attack can slip past the defenses in your computer’s processor
MIT CSAIL researchers found a way to exploit a split-second gap in chip security — and used it to acquire a Linux system’s password file.
MIT engineers create a system for building shape-changing smart devices
Dubbed “bifur-circuits,” these interactive building blocks could be used to develop reconfigurable robotic grippers or customized assistive devices.
AI helps design new materials that work in the real world
The “CrysVCD” tool developed at MIT could cut the huge amounts of time and money spent on screening out chemically unstable designs.
Securing wireless communication in next-generation devices
A new, scalable technique could enable powerful radars and sensors based on quantum technology that works at room temperature.
When AI art has no author: Study finds generated images often can’t be traced to training data
A new method for surgically removing training examples from a model reveals that as datasets grow, the link between what a model learns and what it produces dissolves.
With a feel for physics, AI models simulate a wider range of real-world scenarios
“GeoPT” helps AI models understand the basics of physics so they can simulate how objects respond to things like wind and water more efficiently and accurately.
Researchers make air-stable, ultrathin superconductors, for more scalable quantum devices
A new technique produces wafer-scale samples, overcoming a major roadblock to using these materials in quantum technologies.
These 3D-printed objects can tell you if they’re being used properly
The “ShiftLens” design and fabrication system creates objects that change their surface appearance based on user interactions, without any electronics.
The benefits of medical AI assistance vary based on user expertise
Study finds non-experts deferred to LLM-based diagnostic assistance, even when it was wrong, while clinicians caught AI errors.
Alexander Rakhlin named director of the MIT Statistics and Data Science Center
An expert in machine learning, statistics, and computation, Rakhlin succeeds Professor Ankur Moitra.
Connecting students with the future of microelectronics
The 2026 NEMC Hub-sponsored externship gave students access to world-class research, advanced semiconductor manufacturing, and professionals driving innovation across the Northeast.
Daniela Rus receives Bavarian Minister-President's High-Tech Prize
Director of CSAIL and MIT professor honored for her contributions to robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems.
