As President Donald Trump enjoys a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom aimed at showing the trans-Atlantic bond remains strong despite differences over Ukraine, the Middle East and the future of the Western alliance, his administration is targeting the ‘radical left’ it blames, without evidence, for the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Trump and his aides have discussed classifying some groups as domestic terrorists, ordering racketeering investigations and revoking tax-exempt status for progressive nonprofits. Critics say Trump is extending…

George Tynan followed a nonlinear path to fusion. Following his undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering, Tynann’s work in the industry spurred his interest in rocket propulsion technology. Because most methods for propulsion involve the manipulation of hot ionized matter, or plasmas, Tynan focused his attention on plasma physics. It was then that he realized that plasmas could also drive nuclear fusion. “As a potential energy source, it could really be transformative, and the idea that I could work on……

A genome-editing technique known as prime editing holds potential for treating many diseases by transforming faulty genes into functional ones. However, the process carries a small chance of inserting errors that could be harmful. MIT researchers have now found a way to dramatically lower the error rate of prime editing, using modified versions of the proteins involved in the process. This advance could make it easier to develop gene therapy treatments for a variety of diseases, the researchers say…….

To most, the Arctic can feel like an abstract place, difficult to imagine beyond images of ice and polar bears. But researcher David Whelihan of MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group is no stranger to the Arctic. Through Operation Ice Camp, a U.S. Navy–sponsored biennial mission to assess operational readiness in the Arctic region, he has traveled to this vast and remote wilderness twice over the past few years to test low-cost sensor nodes developed by……

When researchers are building large language models (LLMs), they aim to maximize performance under a particular computational and financial budget. Since training a model can amount to millions of dollars, developers need to be judicious with cost-impacting decisions about, for instance, the model architecture, optimizers, and training datasets before committing to a model. To anticipate the quality and accuracy of a large model’s predictions, practitioners often turn to scaling laws: using smaller, cheaper models to try to approximate the……

For the past decade, MIT has offered doctoral-level study in computational science and engineering (CSE) exclusively through an interdisciplinary program designed for students applying computation within a specific science or engineering field. As interest grew among students focused primarily on advancing CSE methodology itself, it became clear that a dedicated academic home for this group — students and faculty deeply invested in the foundations of computational science and engineering — was needed. Now, with a stand-alone CSE PhD program,……

Traditionally, developing new materials for cutting-edge applications — such as SpaceX’s Raptor engine — has taken a decade or more. But thanks to a breakthrough technology pioneered by an MIT research group now celebrating its 40th year, a key material for the Raptor was delivered in just a few years. The same innovation has accelerated the development of high-performance materials for the Apple Watch, U.S. Air Force jets, and Formula One race cars. The MIT Steel Research Group (SRG)……
