Merging design and computer science in creative ways
The speed with which new technologies hit the market is nothing compared to the speed with which talented researchers find creative ways to use them, train them, even turn them...
Artificial intelligence enhances air mobility planning
Every day, hundreds of chat messages flow between pilots, crew, and controllers of the Air Mobility Command’s 618th Air Operations Center (AOC). These controllers direct a thousand-wide fleet of aircraft,...
Novel method detects microbial contamination in cell cultures
Researchers from the Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP) interdisciplinary research group of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, in collaboration with MIT, A*STAR...
Designing a new way to optimize complex coordinated systems
Coordinating complicated interactive systems, whether it’s the different modes of transportation in a city or the various components that must work together to make an effective and efficient robot, is an...
New model predicts a chemical reaction’s point of no return
When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction’s transition state — the point of no return from which a reaction must proceed. This information...
3D modeling you can feel
Essential for many industries ranging from Hollywood computer-generated imagery to product design, 3D modeling tools often use text or image prompts to dictate different aspects of visual appearance, like color...
Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language
Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers’ lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming...
MIT’s McGovern Institute is shaping brain science and improving human lives on a global scale
In 2000, Patrick J. McGovern ’59 and Lore Harp McGovern made an extraordinary gift to establish the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, driven by their deep curiosity about...
A faster way to solve complex planning problems
When some commuter trains arrive at the end of the line, they must travel to a switching platform to be turned around so they can depart the station later, often...
