School of Architecture and Planning recognizes faculty with academic promotions in 2025
The faculty members’ work comprises multifaceted research and scholarship across a wide range of disciplines.
MIT Learn offers “a whole new front door to the Institute”
The AI-enabled platform serves as a hub for MIT’s lifelong learning opportunities.
A new way to edit or generate images
MIT researchers found that special kinds of neural networks, called encoders or “tokenizers,” can do much more than previously realized.
The unique, mathematical shortcuts language models use to predict dynamic scenarios
Language models follow changing situations using clever arithmetic, instead of sequential tracking. By controlling when these approaches are used, engineers could improve the systems’ capabilities.
What Americans actually think about taxes
Andrea Campbell’s new book shows that what we say we want on taxes doesn’t always match what we prefer in practice.
MIT launches a “moonshot for menstruation science”
The Fairbairn Menstruation Science Fund will allow researchers to accelerate the understanding and treatment of often-neglected diseases that tend to be more common in women.
Model predicts long-term effects of nuclear waste on underground disposal systems
The simulations matched results from an underground lab experiment in Switzerland, suggesting modeling could be used to validate the safety of nuclear disposal sites.
Helping cities evolve
Economics graduate student Vincent Rollet studies how housing, regulation, and politics interact to shape the future of cities.
MIT’s Mason Estrada to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers
The star pitcher has been studying aerospace engineering at MIT. Now his pitches, and career, will take flight in professional baseball.
New tool gives anyone the ability to train a robot
MIT engineers designed a versatile interface that allows users to teach robots new skills in intuitive ways.
