July 7, 2025

MIT Professor Emeritus Barry Lloyd Vercoe, a pioneering force in computer music, a founding faculty member of the MIT Media Lab, and a leader in the development of MIT’s Music and Theater Arts Section, passed away on June 15. He was 87. Vercoe’s life was a rich symphony of artistry, science, and innovation that led to profound enhancements of musical experience for expert musicians as well as for the general public — and especially young people. Born in Wellington,...

New postdoctoral fellowship program to accelerate innovation...

July 7, 2025

The MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative (MIT HEALS) is launching the Biswas Postdoctoral Fellowship Program to advance the work of outstanding early-career researchers in health and life sciences. Supported by a gift from the Biswas Family Foundation, the program aims to help apply cutting-edge research to improve health care and the lives of millions. The program will support exceptional postdocs dedicated to innovation in human health care through a full range of pathways, such as leveraging AI in...

Exploring data and its influence on political...

July 7, 2025

Data and politics are becoming increasingly intertwined. Today’s political campaigns and voter mobilization efforts are now entirely data-driven. Voters, pollsters, and elected officials are relying on data to make choices that have local, regional, and national impacts. A Department of Political Science course offers students tools to help make sense of these choices and their outcomes. In class 17.831 (Data and Politics), students are introduced to principles and practices necessary to understand electoral and other types of political behavior....

MIT and Mass General Hospital researchers find...

July 3, 2025

In 1954, the world’s first successful organ transplant took place at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in the form of a kidney donated from one twin to the other. At the time, a group of doctors and scientists had correctly theorized that the recipient’s antibodies were unlikely to reject an organ from an identical twin. One Nobel Prize and a few decades later, advancements in immune-suppressing drugs increased the viability of and demand for organ transplants. Today, over 1 million organ...

A new platform for developing advanced metals...

July 3, 2025

Companies building next-generation products and breakthrough technologies are often limited by the physical constraints of traditional materials. In aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial tooling, pushing those constraints introduces possible failure points into the system, but companies don’t have better options, given that producing new materials at scale involves multiyear timelines and huge expenses. Foundation Alloy wants to break the mold. The company, founded by a team from MIT, is capable of producing a new class of ultra-high-performance metal alloys using...

3 Questions: How MIT’s venture studio is...

July 2, 2025

MIT Proto Ventures is the Institute’s in-house venture studio — a program designed not to support existing startups, but to create entirely new ones from the ground up. Operating at the intersection of breakthrough research and urgent real-world problems, Proto Ventures proactively builds startups that leverage MIT technologies, talent, and ideas to address high-impact industry challenges. Each venture-building effort begins with a “channel” — a defined domain such as clean energy, fusion, or AI in health care — where...

Confronting the AI/energy conundrum

July 2, 2025

The explosive growth of AI-powered computing centers is creating an unprecedented surge in electricity demand that threatens to overwhelm power grids and derail climate goals. At the same time, artificial intelligence technologies could revolutionize energy systems, accelerating the transition to clean power. “We’re at a cusp of potentially gigantic change throughout the economy,” said William H. Green, director of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and Hoyt C. Hottel Professor in the MIT Department of Chemical Engineering, at MITEI’s Spring...

Study finds better services dramatically help children...

July 2, 2025

Being placed in foster care is a necessary intervention for some children. But many advocates worry that kids can languish in foster care too long, with harmful effects for children who are temporarily unattached from a permanent family. A new study co-authored by an MIT economist shows that an innovative Chilean program providing legal aid to children shortens the length of foster-care stays, returning them to families faster. In the process, it improves long-term social outcomes for kids and...

MIT student wins first-ever Stephen Hawking Junior...

July 1, 2025

Gitanjali Rao, a rising junior at MIT majoring in biological engineering, has been named the first-ever recipient of the Stephen Hawking Junior Medal for Science Communication. This award, presented by the Starmus Festival, is a new category of the already prestigious award created by the late theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author Stephen Hawking and the Starmus Festival. “I spend a lot of time in labs,” says Rao, highlighting her Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program project in the Langer Lab. Along...

VAMO proposes an alternative to architectural permanence

July 1, 2025

The International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia holds up a mirror to the industry — not only reflecting current priorities and preoccupations, but also projecting an agenda for what might be possible. Curated by Carlo Ratti, MIT professor of practice of urban technologies and planning, this year’s exhibition (“Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective”) proposes a “Circular Economy Manifesto” with the goal to support the “development and production of projects that utilize natural, artificial, and collective intelligence to combat the climate crisis.” Designers...

MIT Open Learning bootcamp supports effort to...

July 1, 2025

Evan Kharasch, professor of anesthesiology and vice chair for innovation at Duke University, has developed two approaches that may aid in fentanyl addiction recovery. After attending MIT’s Substance Use Disorders (SUD) Ventures Bootcamp, he’s committed to bringing them to market. Illicit fentanyl addiction is still a national emergency in the United States, fueled by years of opioid misuse. As opioid prescriptions fell by 50 percent over 15 years, many turned to street drugs. Among those drugs, fentanyl stands out...
