Anders Serj Hansen named Edgerton Award winner
MIT associate professor recognized for exceptional distinction in teaching, research, and service at MIT.
Special subject invites first-year students to get their feet wet working with underwater vehicles
2.S01 (Introduction to Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) creates a learning environment where every student handles a robot.
A faster way to solve complex planning problems
By eliminating redundant computations, a new data-driven method can streamline processes like scheduling trains, routing delivery drivers, or assigning airline crews.
Bridging Earth and space, and art and science, with global voices
Professor Craig Carter’s precision design for a student-led project now on the moon encodes messages from around the world on a silicon wafer.
Training LLMs to self-detoxify their language
A new method from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab helps large language models to steer their own responses toward safer, more ethical, value-aligned outputs.
New initiative to advance innovations in pediatric care
The Hood Pediatric Innovation Hub aims to break down barriers to pediatric innovation and foster transformative research to improve children’s health outcomes.
Engineered bacteria emit signals that can be spotted from a distance
These bacteria, which could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, could act as sensors to help farmers monitor their crops.
New method efficiently safeguards sensitive AI training data
The approach maintains an AI model’s accuracy while ensuring attackers can’t extract secret information.
Using liquid air for grid-scale energy storage
New research finds liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost option for ensuring a continuous power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon-free but intermittent sources of electricity.
