Novel AI model inspired by neural dynamics...

May 2, 2025

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a novel artificial intelligence model inspired by neural oscillations in the brain, with the goal of significantly advancing how machine learning algorithms handle long sequences of data. AI often struggles with analyzing complex information that unfolds over long periods of time, such as climate trends, biological signals, or financial data. One new type of AI model, called “state-space models,” has been designed specifically to understand these sequential...

TeleAbsence: Poetic encounters with the past

May 2, 2025

In the dim light of the lab, friends, family, and strangers watched the image of a pianist playing for them, the pianist’s fingers projected onto the moving keys of a real grand piano that filled the space with music. Watching the ghostly musicians, faces and bodies blurred at their edges, several listeners shared one strong but strange conviction: “feeling someone’s presence” while “also knowing that I am the only one in the room.” “It’s tough to explain,” another listener...

Studying work, life, and economics

April 30, 2025

For policymakers investigating the effective transition of an economy from agriculture to manufacturing and services, there are complex economic, institutional, and practical considerations. “Are certain regions trapped in an under-industrialization state?” asks Tishara Garg, an economics doctoral student at MIT. “If so, can government policy help them escape this trap and transition to an economy characterized by higher levels of industrialization and better-paying jobs?” Garg’s research focuses on trade, economic geography, and development. Her studies yielded the paper “Can...

The MIT-Portugal Program enters Phase 4

April 30, 2025

Since its founding 19 years ago as a pioneering collaboration with Portuguese universities, research institutions and corporations, the MIT-Portugal Program (MPP) has achieved a slew of successes — from enabling 47 entrepreneurial spinoffs and funding over 220 joint projects between MIT and Portuguese researchers to training a generation of exceptional researchers on both sides of the Atlantic. In March, with nearly two decades of collaboration under their belts, MIT and the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT) signed an...

MIT engineers advance toward a fault-tolerant quantum...

April 30, 2025

In the future, quantum computers could rapidly simulate new materials or help scientists develop faster machine-learning models, opening the door to many new possibilities. But these applications will only be possible if quantum computers can perform operations extremely quickly, so scientists can make measurements and perform corrections before compounding error rates reduce their accuracy and reliability. The efficiency of this measurement process, known as readout, relies on the strength of the coupling between photons, which are particles of light...

In kids, EEG monitoring of consciousness safely...

April 29, 2025

Newly published results of a randomized, controlled clinical trial in Japan among more than 170 children aged 1 to 6 who underwent surgery show that by using electroencephalogram (EEG) readings of brain waves to monitor unconsciousness, an anesthesiologist can significantly reduce the amount of the anesthesia administered to safely induce and sustain each patient’s anesthetized state. On average, the little patients experienced significant improvements in several post-operative outcomes, including quicker recovery and reduced incidence of delirium. “I think the...

Exploring new frontiers in mineral extraction

April 29, 2025

The ocean’s deep-sea bed is scattered with ancient rocks, each about the size of a closed fist, called “polymetallic nodules.” Elsewhere, along active and inactive hydrothermal vents and the deep ocean’s ridges, volcanic arcs, and tectonic plate boundaries, and on the flanks of seamounts, lie other types of mineral-rich deposits containing high-demand minerals. The minerals found in the deep ocean are used to manufacture products like the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles, cell phones, or solar cells....

Response to infection highlights the nervous system’s...

April 29, 2025

Whether you are a person about town or a worm in a dish, life can throw all kinds of circumstances your way. What you need is a nervous system flexible enough to cope. In a new study, MIT neuroscientists show how even a simple animal can repurpose brain circuits and the chemical signals, or “neuromodulators,” in its brain to muster an adaptive response to an infection. The study therefore may provide a model for understanding how brains in more...

At the Venice Biennale, design through flexible...

April 29, 2025

When the Venice Biennale’s 19th International Architecture Exhibition launches on May 10, its guiding theme will be applying nimble, flexible intelligence to a demanding world — an ongoing focus of its curator, MIT faculty member Carlo Ratti. The Biennale is the world’s most renowned exhibition of its kind, an international event whose subject matter shifts over time, with a new curator providing new focus every two years. This year, the Biennale’s formal theme is “Intelligens,” the Latin word behind “intelligence,”...

Merging design and computer science in creative...

April 28, 2025

The speed with which new technologies hit the market is nothing compared to the speed with which talented researchers find creative ways to use them, train them, even turn them into things we can’t live without. One such researcher is MIT MAD Fellow Alexander Htet Kyaw, a graduate student pursuing dual master’s degrees in architectural studies in computation and in electrical engineering and computer science. Kyaw takes technologies like artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and robotics, and combines them with gesture,...

New chip tests cooling solutions for stacked...

April 28, 2025

As demand grows for more powerful and efficient microelectronics systems, industry is turning to 3D integration — stacking chips on top of each other. This vertically layered architecture could allow high-performance processors, like those used for artificial intelligence, to be packaged closely with other highly specialized chips for communication or imaging. But technologists everywhere face a major challenge: how to prevent these stacks from overheating. Now, MIT Lincoln Laboratory has developed a specialized chip to test and validate cooling...

By measuring ultraviolet light absorbance of cell culture fluids and using machine learning to...

Artificial intelligence enhances air mobility planning

April 25, 2025

Every day, hundreds of chat messages flow between pilots, crew, and controllers of the Air Mobility Command’s 618th Air Operations Center (AOC). These controllers direct a thousand-wide fleet of aircraft, juggling variables to determine which routes to fly, how much time fueling or loading supplies will take, or who can fly those missions. Their mission planning allows the U.S. Air Force to quickly respond to national security needs around the globe. “It takes a lot of work to get...
