Speakers at MIT’s Aging Brain Initiative symposium described how immune system factors during aging contribute to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other conditions. The field is leveraging that knowledge to develop new therapies.

The MIT–MBZUAI Collaborative Research Program will unite faculty and students from both institutions to advance AI and accelerate its use in pressing scientific and societal challenges.

MIT physicist seeks to use award to study magnetoelectric multiferroics that could lead to energy-efficient storage devices.

Proposed system would combine two kinds of plants, creating greater efficiency and lowering costs while curbing climate-changing emissions.

New tool from MIT CSAIL creates realistic virtual kitchens and living rooms where simulated robots can interact with models of real-world objects, scaling up training data for robot foundation models.

A new method turns down quantum noise that obscures the “ticking” of atoms, and could enable stable, transportable atomic clocks.

MIT researchers discovered a hidden atomic order that persists in metals even after extreme processing.

A new study identifies genetic modifications that make these immune cells, known as CAR-NK cells, more effective at destroying cancer cells.

Applied mathematics professor will join fellow co-director Nicolas Hadjiconstantinou in leading the cross-cutting center.

Assistant Professor Priya Donti’s research applies machine learning to optimize renewable energy.

The approach combines physics and machine learning to avoid damaging disruptions when powering down tokamak fusion machines.

Incorporating machine learning, MIT engineers developed a way to 3D print alloys that are much stronger than conventionally manufactured versions.

Brain imaging suggests people with musical training may be better than others at filtering out distracting sounds.

A leading researcher in protein folding biochemistry and next-generation protein engineering techniques will advance chemistry research and education.

Analysis from MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics finds companies are still acting to reduce emissions, but often lag in measurement techniques.

The new dyes are based on boron-containing molecules that were previously too unstable for practical use.

MIT CSAIL and McMaster researchers used a generative AI model to reveal how a narrow-spectrum antibiotic attacks disease-causing bacteria, speeding up a process that normally takes years.

Panel discussions focused on innovation in many forms of energy, then a tour of campus featured student research.

Jiaqi Cai and Zhengguang Lu independently discovered that electrons can become fractions of themselves.

Bakshi will help shape and scale entrepreneurship education and platform at MIT.
