Featured video: Changing the conversation about endometriosis

November 3, 2026

Endometriosis affects more than 265 million women worldwide — 1 out of every 10 women of reproductive age, according to the United Nations — yet it remains one of the most misunderstood, under-researched, and chronically stigmatized conditions in modern medicine. A new documentary, “End of the Cycle,” presented by The Endometriosis Collective, is changing that conversation about this painful disease, one powerful story at a time. Directed by Sammy Jaye and Soraya Simi, the film weaves together intimate personal...

Powering up for a pivotal moment

November 2, 2026

Utilizing waste carbon at scale, assessing public trust in artificial intelligence and data centers, and building a quantum toolkit for critical applications were among the topics energy experts explored at the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI)’s annual research conference on Sept. 22-23. The complexity of the energy transition demands “a truly interdisciplinary and international approach,” said Paula Hammond, Institute Professor and dean of the MIT School of Engineering, kicking off the conference, which was themed “Transitioning energy at a pivotal...

MIT engineers design a safer, more efficient...

November 2, 2026

Fish that are cultivated in pools or ponds are an increasingly important source of food around the world. Unfortunately, disease outbreaks can cause substantial losses in aquaculture. Fish farmers use vaccines to prevent disease outbreaks just like regular farmers, but vaccinating a fish is a lot harder than vaccinating a cow. The most effective way to vaccinate fish today uses needles, but there are several downsides to this process, both for the fish and the farmers. Now a team...

MIT in the media: “Unpack My Cambridge”...

November 2, 2026

Cambridge is booming with innovation, food, music, and history, highlighted in detail by the Cambridge Office for Tourism’s “Unpack my Cambridge” video series. Reporting from Kendall Square – “the most innovative square mile on the planet” – MIT President Sally Kornbluth shares some of her favorite spots, and sweets, around the city. To help you plan a visit in real life, more information on the different stops is below. You can find even more on the Cambridge Office for...

MIT affiliates named 2026 Schmidt Sciences AI2050...

October 30, 2026

Five MIT faculty members and two additional alumni were recently named to the 2026 cohort of AI2050 Fellows. The honor is announced annually by Schmidt Sciences, Eric and Wendy Schmidt’s philanthropic initiative that aims to accelerate scientific innovation. Conceived and co-chaired by Eric Schmidt and James Manyika, AI2050 is a philanthropic initiative aimed at helping to solve hard problems in artificial intelligence. Within their research, each fellow will contend with the central motivating question of AI2050: “It’s 2050. AI has turned...

J-PAL North America launches ARTEMIS to train...

October 30, 2026

The Applied Research Training in Evaluation, Methods, and Impact Studies (ARTEMIS) program, launched by J-PAL North America, equips early-career researchers with high-level technical training and practical skills to design randomized evaluations (also referred to as a randomized controlled trials, or RCTs) on issues of poverty in the U.S. context. Fully funded and highly rigorous, the program’s inaugural cohort of 20 participants — including PhD students through pre-tenure faculty — is receiving training, mentorship, and proposal development support through December. ...

Q&A: Hey AI, who should I vote...

October 30, 2026

People are peppering artificial intelligence chatbots everyday with questions, but when it comes to politics and the looming 2026 U.S. midterm elections, what role are AI platforms playing? Could an AI chatbot sway a voter to switch parties or re-examine their political beliefs? MIT researchers have built a new dashboard, called the LLM Election Observatory, to examine, in real-time, how popular AI chatbots are responding to questions about the 2026 midterm elections. The team behind the dashboard — led by Professor...

MIT engineers create nanoparticles for delivering personalized...

October 30, 2026

A nanoscale particle with a unique structure, developed at MIT, holds potential as a customizable delivery vehicle for personalized cancer vaccines. The backbone of the vaccine is a modified, harmless bacteriophage called M13, which forms a nanofiber that can be coated with cancer antigens. By precisely controlling the density of those cancer proteins, the researchers found that they could create a vaccine that prevents the development of colon tumors in mice. This type of delivery particle could be adapted...

Magnetic sensors track muscle movement, for better...

October 29, 2026

MIT researchers have shown that they can accurately track muscle movement using tiny magnetic beads implanted in the muscle. These measurements could make it easier for people with certain types of amputations to control their prosthetic limbs. For decades, researchers have been working to develop neuroprosthetic limbs, which use neural information from muscles remaining after an amputation to guide the prosthetic limb. Measurements of a muscle’s length, velocity and activation can be fed into the control algorithms that guide...

New system gives users more control over...

October 29, 2026

A user who is frustrated with changes a social media company made to their favorite messaging platform, like the introduction of an annoying AI chatbot, can’t do much to address the situation, short of leaving the platform. Now, MIT researchers are offering an alternative path. They’ve created Social.Wiki, a system that allows users to easily edit any social application made within Social.Wiki, and choose which of the edits made by others they want to see. For example, a user could change...

Seven MIT affiliates elected to the National...

October 28, 2026

During its annual meeting on Oct. 19, the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) announced election of 100 new members, including MIT faculty member Michael Yaffe and six MIT alumni: Steven Allen Abrams ’79; Susan L. Ettner PhD ’91; Diane Medved Harper ’80, SM ’82; Albert Icksang Ko ’81; Jennifer Lewis ScD ’91; and Alexander Marson PhD ’08. Election to the academy is considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine and recognizes individuals who...

A soft robot could help doctors diagnose...

October 28, 2026

Disorders of the small intestine are often difficult to diagnose and treat. More than 20 feet long, an inch in diameter, and located deep within the body, this organ is harder to access than other parts of the digestive tract, such as the colon or stomach. To overcome those challenges, MIT engineers have designed a new robotic enteroscope that can move easily through the narrow passage of the small intestine, allowing it to perform imaging, deliver drugs, and remove...

Making machines that can listen

October 28, 2026

The crack of a bat accompanied by a roar from the crowd can capture a baseball fan’s attention, even if they miss seeing the home run. Humans may be visual creatures, but we also perceive the world around us by listening to it. To improve artificial perception, MIT Professor Paris Smaragdis SM ’97, PhD ’01 seeks to make machines that can hear and understand sound even better than humans. A machine with super-human hearing could rapidly pinpoint the location...

Origami-based construction method yields lightweight, load-bearing structures...

October 27, 2026

MIT researchers developed a new type of origami-based construction method that could be used to build complex structures that are cheaper and easier to assemble, and use less material than those built with some conventional techniques. This scalable system simplifies the process of designing lightweight, rigid structural shells from modular components that can be fabricated from flat sheets of material and then folded into shape. The units are connected to build a larger lattice structure using simple tools and...

Hashim Sarkis to step down as dean...

October 26, 2026

Hashim Sarkis will step down as dean of the MIT School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) at the end of June 2027. During his 12 years as dean, Sarkis elevated the school’s role and impact by creating new academic centers, adding more support for students, and, quite visibly, moving into a new home in MIT’s renovated Met Warehouse building. To an unusual degree, these achievements are interconnected: The Met Warehouse, dedicated this month, features innovative and expanded spaces for...
