- Three from MIT named 2024-25 Goldwater ScholarsUndergraduates Ben Lou, Srinath Mahankali, and Kenta Suzuki, whose research explores math and physics, are honored for their academic excellence.
- Physicists arrange atoms in extremely close proximityThe technique opens possibilities for exploring exotic states of matter and building new quantum materials.
- Epigenomic analysis sheds light on risk factors for ALSIn a study of cells from nearly 400 ALS patients, researchers identified genomic regions with chemical modifications linked to disease progression.
- Francis Fan Lee, former professor and interdisciplinary speech processing inventor, diesThe former EECS professor and RLE affiliate helped to develop a machine that read text out loud and won an Emmy for work on subtly speeding up film and audio without a noticeable loss of pitch.
- Fostering research, careers, and community in materials scienceMICRO internship program expands, brings undergraduate interns from other schools to campus.
- Natural language boosts LLM performance in coding, planning, and roboticsThree neurosymbolic methods help language models find better abstractions within natural language, then use those representations to execute complex tasks.
- Nuno Loureiro named director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion CenterA lauded professor, theoretical physicist, and fusion scientist, Loureiro is keenly positioned to advance the center’s research and education goals.
- Studies in empathy and analyticsSenior James Simon wants to effect change in two ways: by quantifying societal issues and working directly with disadvantaged communities.
- Science communication competition brings research into the real world“We need more scientists who can explain their work clearly, explain science to the public, and help us build a science-literate world.”
- To understand cognition — and its dysfunction — neuroscientists must learn its rhythmsA new framework describes how thought arises from the coordination of neural activity driven by oscillating electric fields — a.k.a. brain “waves” or “rhythms.”
