Changing the conversation in health care
The Language/AI Incubator, an MIT Human Insight Collaborative project, is investigating how AI can improve communications among patients and practitioners.
AI shapes autonomous underwater “gliders”
An AI pipeline developed by CSAIL researchers enables unique hydrodynamic designs for bodyboard-sized vehicles that glide underwater and could help scientists gather marine data.
Collaborating with the force of nature
Ongoing research by three architecture faculty aims to yield structures that protect communities from the devastation of volcanic eruptions.
Implantable device could save diabetes patients from dangerously low blood sugar
The new implant carries a reservoir of glucagon that can be stored under the skin and deployed during an emergency — with no injections needed.
Study could lead to LLMs that are better at complex reasoning
Researchers developed a way to make large language models more adaptable to challenging tasks like strategic planning or process optimization.
New postdoctoral fellowship program to accelerate innovation in health care
Launched with a gift from the Biswas Family Foundation, the Biswas Postdoctoral Fellowship Program will support postdocs in health and life sciences.
Study shows how a common fertilizer ingredient benefits plants
The findings could enable new ways to increase plants’ resilience to UV stress and enhance seedling growth.
Robotic probe quickly measures key properties of new materials
Developed to analyze new semiconductors, the system could streamline the development of more powerful solar panels.
MIT and Mass General Hospital researchers find disparities in organ allocation
In an analysis of over 160,000 transplant candidates, researchers found that race is linked to how likely an organ offer is to be accepted on behalf of a patient.
