- A new system can dial expression of synthetic genes up or downThe promoter editing system could be used to fine-tune gene therapy or to more efficiently reprogram cells for therapeutic use.
- MIT releases financials and endowment figures for 2025The Institute’s pooled investments returned 14.8 percent last year; endowment stands at $27.4 billion.
- Ray Kurzweil ’70 reinforces his optimism in tech progressReceiving the Robert A. Muh award, the technologist and author heralded a bright future for AI, breakthroughs in longevity, and more.
- MIT physicists improve the precision of atomic clocksA new method turns down quantum noise that obscures the “ticking” of atoms, and could enable stable, transportable atomic clocks.
- Uncovering new physics in metals manufacturingMIT researchers discovered a hidden atomic order that persists in metals even after extreme processing.
- Engineered “natural killer” cells could help fight cancerA new study identifies genetic modifications that make these immune cells, known as CAR-NK cells, more effective at destroying cancer cells.
- New prediction model could improve the reliability of fusion power plantsThe approach combines physics and machine learning to avoid damaging disruptions when powering down tokamak fusion machines.
- Printable aluminum alloy sets strength records, may enable lighter aircraft partsIncorporating machine learning, MIT engineers developed a way to 3D print alloys that are much stronger than conventionally manufactured versions.
