MIT and Mass General Hospital researchers find disparities in organ allocation
In an analysis of over 160,000 transplant candidates, researchers found that race is linked to how likely an organ offer is to be accepted on behalf of a patient.
The high-tech wizardry of integrated photonics
PhD candidate Sabrina Corsetti builds photonic devices that manipulate light to enable previously unimaginable applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers.
New imaging technique reconstructs the shapes of hidden objects
By leveraging reflections from wireless signals like Wi-Fi, the system could allow robots to find and manipulate items that are blocked from view.
President Emeritus Reif reflects on successes as a technical leader
At a fireside chat, L. Rafael Reif and Anantha P. Chandrakasan discussed the importance of developing engineering leadership skills to solve the world’s most challenging problems.
Using generative AI to help robots jump higher and land safely
MIT CSAIL researchers combined GenAI and a physics simulation engine to refine robot designs. The result: a machine that out-jumped a robot designed by humans.
The tenured engineers of 2025
Eleven faculty members have been granted tenure in six units across MIT’s School of Engineering.
LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatments
Researchers find nonclinical information in patient messages — like typos, extra white space, and colorful language — reduces the accuracy of an AI model.
Researchers present bold ideas for AI at MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium kickoff event
Presentations targeted high-impact intersections of AI and other areas, such as health care, business, and education.
QS ranks MIT the world’s No. 1 university for 2025-26

New 3D chips could make electronics faster and more energy-efficient
The low-cost, scalable technology can seamlessly integrate high-speed gallium nitride transistors onto a standard silicon chip.
Unpacking the bias of large language models
In a new study, researchers discover the root cause of a type of bias in LLMs, paving the way for more accurate and reliable AI systems.
A sounding board for strengthening the student experience
Composed of “computing bilinguals,” the Undergraduate Advisory Group provides vital input to help advance the mission of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing.
This compact, low-power receiver could give a boost to 5G smart devices
Researchers designed a tiny receiver chip that is more resilient to interference, which could enable smaller 5G “internet of things” devices with longer battery lives.
Anantha Chandrakasan named MIT provost
A faculty member since 1994, Chandrakasan has also served as dean of engineering and MIT’s inaugural chief innovation and strategy officer, among other roles.
