Photonic processor could streamline 6G wireless signal...

June 11, 2025

As more connected devices demand an increasing amount of bandwidth for tasks like teleworking and cloud computing, it will become extremely challenging to manage the finite amount of wireless spectrum available for all users to share. Engineers are employing artificial intelligence to dynamically manage the available wireless spectrum, with an eye toward reducing latency and boosting performance. But most AI methods for classifying and processing wireless signals are power-hungry and can’t operate in real-time. Now, MIT researchers have developed...

Window-sized device taps the air for safe...

June 11, 2025

Today, 2.2 billion people in the world lack access to safe drinking water. In the United States, more than 46 million people experience water insecurity, living with either no running water or water that is unsafe to drink. The increasing need for drinking water is stretching traditional resources such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. To improve access to safe and affordable drinking water, MIT engineers are tapping into an unconventional source: the air. The Earth’s atmosphere contains millions of...

Recovering from the past and transitioning to...

June 10, 2025

As the frequency and severity of extreme weather events grow, it may become increasingly necessary to employ a bolder approach to climate change, warned Emily A. Carter, the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment at Princeton University. Carter made her case for why the energy transition is no longer enough in the face of climate change while speaking at the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) Presents: Advancing the Energy Transition seminar on the MIT campus. “If all...

“Each of us holds a piece of...

June 10, 2025

MIT has an unparalleled history of bringing together interdisciplinary teams to solve pressing problems — think of the development of radar during World War II, or leading the international coalition that cracked the code of the human genome — but the challenge of climate change could demand a scale of collaboration unlike any that’s come before at MIT. “Solving climate change is not just about new technologies or better models. It’s about forging new partnerships across campus and beyond...

Universal nanosensor unlocks the secrets to plant...

June 9, 2025

Researchers from the Disruptive and Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision (DiSTAP) interdisciplinary research group within the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology have developed the world’s first near-infrared fluorescent nanosensor capable of real-time, nondestructive, and species-agnostic detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) — the primary bioactive auxin hormone that controls the way plants develop, grow, and respond to stress. Auxins, particularly IAA, play a central role in regulating key plant processes such as cell division, elongation, root and shoot development, and...

Helping machines understand visual content with AI

June 9, 2025

Data should drive every decision a modern business makes. But most businesses have a massive blind spot: They don’t know what’s happening in their visual data. Coactive is working to change that. The company, founded by Cody Coleman ’13, MEng ’15 and William Gaviria Rojas ’13, has created an artificial intelligence-powered platform that can make sense of data like images, audio, and video to unlock new insights. Coactive’s platform can instantly search, organize, and analyze unstructured visual content to help...

Animation technique simulates the motion of squishy...

June 6, 2025

Animators could create more realistic bouncy, stretchy, and squishy characters for movies and video games thanks to a new simulation method developed by researchers at MIT. Their approach allows animators to simulate rubbery and elastic materials in a way that preserves the physical properties of the material and avoids pitfalls like instability. The technique simulates elastic objects for animation and other applications, with improved reliability compared to other methods. In comparison, many existing simulation techniques can produce elastic animations that...

Guardian Ag’s crop-spraying drone is replacing dangerous...

June 5, 2025

Every year during the growing season, thousands of pilots across the country climb into small planes loaded with hundreds of pounds of pesticides and fly extremely close to the ground at upward of 140 miles an hour, unloading their cargo onto rows of corn, cotton, and soybeans. The world of agricultural aviation is as dangerous as it is vital to America’s farms. Unfortunately, fatal crashes are common. Now Guardian Ag, founded by former MIT Electronics Research Society (MITERS) makers...

Day of Climate inspires young learners to...

June 4, 2025

“Close your eyes and imagine we are on the same team. Same arena. Same jersey. And the game is on the line,” Jaylen Brown, the 2024 NBA Finals MVP for the Boston Celtics, said to a packed room of about 200 people at the recent Day of Climate event at the MIT Museum. “Now think about this: We aren’t playing for ourselves; we are playing for the next generation,” Brown added, encouraging attendees to take climate action. The inaugural Day...

Highlights from MIT’s first-ever Artfinity festival

June 4, 2025

When people think of MIT, they may first think of code, circuits, and cutting-edge science. But the school has a rich history of interweaving art, science, and technology in unexpected and innovative ways — and that’s never been more clear than with the Institute’s latest festival, Artfinity: A Celebration of Creativity and Community at MIT. After an open-call invitation to the MIT community in early 2024, the inaugural Artfinity delivered an extended multi-week exploration of art and ideas, with more than...

Women’s track and field wins first NCAA...

June 4, 2025

With a dramatic victory in the 4x400m relay, the MIT women’s track and field team clinched the 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field National Championship May 24 at the SPIRE Institute’s Outdoor Track and Field facility. The title was MIT’s first NCAA women’s outdoor track and field national championship. The team scored first of 79 with 56 points; runners-up included Washington University with 47 points and the University of Winsconsin at La Crosse with 38 points. With...

Professor Emeritus Stanley Fischer, a towering figure...

June 3, 2025

Stanley Fischer PhD ’69, MIT professor emeritus of economics and a towering figure in both academic macroeconomics and global economic policymaking, passed away on May 31. He was 81. Fischer was a foundational scholar as well as a wise mentor and a central force in shaping the macroeconomic tradition of MIT’s Department of Economics that continues today. “Together with Rudi Dornbusch and later Olivier Blanchard, Stan was one of the intellectual engines that powered MIT macroeconomics in the 1970s...

Teaching AI models what they don’t know

June 3, 2025

Artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT provide plausible-sounding answers to any question you might ask. But they don’t always reveal the gaps in their knowledge or areas where they’re uncertain. That problem can have huge consequences as AI systems are increasingly used to do things like develop drugs, synthesize information, and drive autonomous cars. Now, the MIT spinout Themis AI is helping quantify model uncertainty and correct outputs before they cause bigger problems. The company’s Capsa platform can work with...

New 3D printing method enables complex designs...

June 3, 2025

Hearing aids, mouth guards, dental implants, and other highly tailored structures are often products of 3D printing. These structures are typically made via vat photopolymerization — a form of 3D printing that uses patterns of light to shape and solidify a resin, one layer at a time. The process also involves printing structural supports from the same material to hold the product in place as it’s printed. Once a product is fully formed, the supports are removed manually and...

At MIT, Lindsay Caplan reflects on artistic...

June 2, 2025

The intersection of art, science, and technology presents a unique, sometimes challenging, viewpoint for both scientists and artists. It is in this nexus that art historian Lindsay Caplan positions herself: “My work as an art historian focuses on the ways that artists across the 20th century engage with new technologies like computers, video, and television, not merely as new materials for making art as they already understand it, but as conceptual platforms for reorienting and reimagining the foundational assumptions...
