An adaptable evaluation of justice and interest...

September 26, 2025

In 2024, an association of female senior citizens in Switzerland won a case at the European Court of Human Rights. Their country, the women contended, needed to do more to protect them from climate change, since heat waves can make the elderly particularly vulnerable. The court ruled in favor of the group, saying that states belonging to the Council of Europe have a “positive obligation” to protect citizens from “serious adverse effects of climate change on lives, health, well-being,...

Technique makes complex 3D printed parts more...

September 25, 2025

People are increasingly turning to software to design complex material structures like airplane wings and medical implants. But as design models become more capable, our fabrication techniques haven’t kept up. Even 3D printers struggle to reliably produce the precise designs created by algorithms. The problem has led to a disconnect between the ways a material is expected to perform and how it actually works. Now, MIT researchers have created a way for models to account for 3D printing’s limitations...

Signposts on the way to new territory

September 24, 2025

MIT professors Zachary Hartwig and Wanda Orlikowski exemplify a rare but powerful kind of mentorship — one grounded not just in intellectual excellence, but in deep personal care. They remind us that transformative academic leadership starts with humanity. Whether it’s Hartwig’s ability to bring engineering brilliance to life through genuine personal connection, or Orlikowski’s unwavering support for those who share in her mission to create meaningful impact, both foster environments where people, not just ideas, can thrive. Their students...

By attracting the world’s sharpest talent, MIT...

September 24, 2025

Just as the United States has prospered through its ability to draw talent from every corner of the globe, so too has MIT thrived as a magnet for the world’s most keen and curious minds — many of whom remain here to invent solutions, create companies, and teach future leaders, contributing to America’s success. President Ronald Reagan remarked in 1989 that the United States leads the world “because, unique among nations, we draw our people — our strength —...

Improving the workplace of the future

September 24, 2025

Whitney Zhang ’21 believes in the importance of valuing workers regardless of where they fit into an organizational chart. Zhang is a PhD student in MIT’s Department of Economics studying labor economics. She explores how the technological and managerial decisions companies make affect workers across the pay spectrum. “I’ve been interested in economics, economic impacts, and related social issues for a long time,” says Zhang, who majored in mathematical economics as an undergraduate. “I wanted to apply my math skills...

MIT’s work with Idaho National Laboratory advances...

September 23, 2025

At the center of nuclear reactors across the United States, a new type of chromium-coated fuel is being used to make the reactors more efficient and more resistant to accidents. The fuel is one of many innovations sprung from collaboration between researchers at MIT and the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) — a relationship that has altered the trajectory of the country’s nuclear industry. Amid renewed excitement around nuclear energy in America, MIT’s research community is working to further develop...

MIT named No. 2 university by U.S....

September 23, 2025

MIT has placed second in U.S. News and World Report’s annual rankings of the nation’s best universities, announced today. As in past years, MIT’s engineering program continues to lead the list of undergraduate engineering programs at a doctoral institution. The Institute also placed first in five out of 10 engineering disciplines. U.S. News placed MIT first in its evaluation of undergraduate computer science programs, ranking it No. 1 in four out of 10 computer science disciplines. MIT also topped the list...

MIT affiliates win AI for Math grants...

September 22, 2025

MIT Department of Mathematics researchers David Roe ’06 and Andrew Sutherland ’90, PhD ’07 are among the inaugural recipients of the Renaissance Philanthropy and XTX Markets’ AI for Math grants. Four additional MIT alumni — Anshula Gandhi ’19, Viktor Kunčak SM ’01, PhD ’07; Gireeja Ranade ’07; and Damiano Testa PhD ’05 — were also honored for separate projects. The first 29 winning projects will support mathematicians and researchers at universities and organizations working to develop artificial intelligence systems...

How are MIT entrepreneurs using AI?

September 22, 2025

The Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship strives to teach students the craft of entrepreneurship. Over the last few years, no technology has changed that craft more than artificial intelligence. While many are predicting a rapid and complete transformation in how startups are built, the Trust Center’s leaders have a more nuanced view. “The fundamentals of entrepreneurship haven’t changed with AI,” says Trust Center Entrepreneur in Residence Macauley Kenney. “There’s been a shift in how entrepreneurs accomplish tasks, and...

Meet the 2025 tenured professors in the...

September 18, 2025

In 2025, six faculty were granted tenure in the MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. Sara Brown is an associate professor in the Music and Theater Arts Section. She develops stage designs for theater, opera, and dance by approaching the scenographic space as a catalyst for collective imagination. Her work is rooted in curiosity and interdisciplinary collaboration, and spans virtual environments, immersive performance installations, and evocative stage landscapes. Her recent projects include “Carousel” at the Boston Lyric...

Could a primordial black hole’s last burst...

September 18, 2025

The last gasp of a primordial black hole may be the source of the highest-energy “ghost particle” detected to date, a new MIT study proposes. In a paper appearing today in Physical Review Letters, MIT physicists put forth a strong theoretical case that a recently observed, highly energetic neutrino may have been the product of a primordial black hole exploding outside our solar system. Neutrinos are sometimes referred to as ghost particles, for their invisible yet pervasive nature: They...

A more precise way to edit the...

September 17, 2025

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....

Working to make fusion a viable energy...

September 17, 2025

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...

Q&A: David Whelihan on the challenges of...

September 17, 2025

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...

A new community for computational science and...

September 16, 2025

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,...
