“Somebody’s got to do it. Why not...

November 10, 2026

When Andrew Voelsing was 8 years old, he decided he was going to MIT. He was fascinated by space and dreamed of building spaceships. The Institute, and its well-known aerospace engineering program, seemed like the obvious destination. Years later, as a senior studying climate system science and engineering, Voelsing is preparing for a different kind of career: serving as a Navy officer, using his technical training to help the armed forces understand the ocean and atmosphere. Even during childhood,...

Streamlining metal parts production to revitalize American...

November 10, 2026

The United States used to be the world leader in metal casting, a process where liquid hot metal is poured into a mold to solidify into a desired shape. But more than 70 percent of American metal casting facilities have closed since the industry’s peak in the 1950s. Today, China and India dominate global metal casting production, which is critical for making the components of jet engines, nuclear and gas turbines, medical devices, and more. Fabri is trying to revitalize...

Jensen Huang’s Troubles Leave the AI Industry...

November 9, 2026

No executive has pulled the strings in the artificial intelligence era quite like Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang. He parlayed the boom into incredible wealth, became a close confidant of President Donald Trump, and emerged as a prominent voice in US–China relations. That now all stands in the balance. Over the past few days, Huang’s status as an AI titan has come under scrutiny amid an admission that he had an affair with Alice Huang, an executive at a Singapore-based...

Jensen Huang Hired a PR Firm Known...

November 9, 2026

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang began working with a crisis communications firm known for handling public scandals a year before he admitted to having an extramarital affair with a woman suspected by US intelligence of being a Chinese spy. The firm, Heller, has handled Huang’s behind-the-scenes communications since at least October 2025, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Risa Heller, the firm’s founder, has built a reputation as a fixer for powerful men facing allegations of sexual misconduct...

Bikers and Bug-Lovers Join Forces to Fight...

November 9, 2026

On Wednesday afternoon, Jamie Robins strolled up to the entrance of Google’s UK headquarters in Kings Cross, London. He brandished a letter containing details of a petition signed by almost 55,000 people, calling for Google to abandon plans to build a large new data center in Thurrock, 15 miles to the east of London. Robins works for wildlife conservation trust Buglife, part of an unlikely alliance of special-interest groups trying to block the Thurrock development. Buglife and local wildlife...

Welcome to Weed Island

November 9, 2026

Steven Tan walks along a narrow concourse in the Northern Leaf greenhouse in St Lawrence, Jersey, reading aloud the strains of his cannabis plants: Pink Gasoline, Moon Beam Gelato, Carbon Fibre, Gorilla Kush. Rows of plants stretch off into the distance. To the untrained eye, they look largely the same, with their distinctive jagged-edged, multi-fingered leaf shape and sticky buds like tiny pinecones. But Tan, the CEO and director of medical cannabis manufacturer Northern Leaf, knows them intimately. “These...

A single AI model simulates the behavior...

November 9, 2026

Today, a scientist who wants to simulate a physical process must pick the right tool for that one job, such as a solver built for flowing water or another designed to model the way a protein folds. Each one is hand-coded around the specific equations that dictate how that process behaves. Researchers at MIT, the University of British Columbia (UBC), and elsewhere have now replaced that patchwork with a single deep-learning system, called WorldParticle, that could help engineers model...

Fabric molds could bring material-saving concrete beams...

November 6, 2026

Topology optimization is a computer design method that can help engineers design beams using reduced amounts of concrete and steel. But those intricate shapes produced from the tool are often too complex or expensive to pour into conventional rigid molds. The few that have been built have mostly relied on specialized equipment, such as concrete 3D printers or machine-carved molds, equipment that is out of reach in regions where new construction is expected to grow. Now, MIT engineers...

MIT affiliates elected 2026 American Geophysical Union...

November 6, 2026

Three MIT affiliates — Anthea Coster of MIT Haystack Observatory, Carolyn Ruppel ’86, SM ’86, PhD ’92 of the MIT Energy Initiative, and César Terrer of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering — have been elected as fellows of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) for 2026. The AGU also honored eight additional MIT alumni as new fellows: Claudia Benitez-Nelson PhD ’99; Robert Howarth PhD ’79; Douglas J. Jerolmack PhD ’06; Tamara Shapiro Ledley; Galen A. McKinley PhD ’02; Mark...

Scene at MIT: Beautiful, intricate, creative quilts

November 6, 2026

The MIT Quilt Show, put on as a collaboration between the Crafters’ Circle, MIT Makerspaces, and the MIT Women’s League, and funded by the Council for the Arts at MIT, ran for three days in Lobby 13 Oct. 5-7 and drew 950 visitors. “We got wonderful feedback throughout the show, and it was tremendously gratifying to see the MIT community turn out en masse to support this art form,” says Jane Halpern, show organizer and communications officer for the...

Studying bacteria and the cells they infect

November 6, 2026

Most biologists who study pathogenic microbes have focused on strains such as Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus, which are not only important for human health, but also relatively easy to grow in the lab. Rebecca Lamason, an MIT associate professor of biology, wants to take a more expansive approach that includes bacteria that are more challenging to study. Tackling those microbes, she says, can help scientists learn more about the huge diversity of strategies that pathogens have evolved to...

Clearing up a robot’s fuzzy memory

November 5, 2026

In an emergency, a human might someday ask a robotic assistant to fetch a wall-mounted defibrillator located down the hall. But if the robot has incorrectly labeled the defibrillator as a fire extinguisher in its stored memory, it may not know where to find the life-saving device. This robotic assistant could benefit from a new memory system created by MIT researchers. The system identifies entries in a robot’s memory that might be wrong and corrects the descriptions of mislabeled...

Mentees, colleagues, friends share remembrances of Susumu...

November 4, 2026

Before he passed away on July 11, Susumu Tonegawa had been a professor at MIT for more than 40 years. At a memorial service Oct. 16, colleagues, mentees and other friends spanning almost the whole arc of his illustrious MIT career gathered with members of his family to celebrate his life with recollections and stories that praised not only his science and achievements, but even more so his humanity. The picture that 16 speakers collectively painted was one of...

MIT-led team receives funding to develop a...

November 4, 2026

MIT researchers will lead a four-year, up to $38 million project, funded by the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), aimed at developing a noninvasive, wearable patch that continually monitors biomarkers of heart disease and sepsis. The project is called PYTHIA, which stands for “predictive platform for physiological and therapeutic health intervention and adaptive management.” According to the project plan, the patch, which will capture clinical-grade health information in real time, will be powered by heat from the...

3 Questions: Building more resilient minerals supply...

November 3, 2026

Global development and prosperity have become increasingly dependent on minerals and metals. This growing dependence has drawn attention to the mining industry and underscored national economic and security vulnerabilities across supply chains. As demand for these materials rises, the challenge for expanding capacity will be to develop scalable pathways to produce, use, and steward them. In this interview, Professor Elsa Olivetti, co-director of the MIT Minerals Stewardship Consortium, discusses how collaboration can strengthen mineral and metal supply chains and...
