The 16 finalists — representing every school at MIT — will explore generative AI’s impact on privacy, art, drug discovery, aging, and more.

We’ll need to learn the lessons from this disaster.

A civil engineer explains why ships taking out bridges is rare, and describes how bridge builders protect the structures from ship collisions.

Screen-reader users can upload a dataset and create customized data representations that combine visualization, textual description, and sonification.

A catalyst tethered by DNA boosts the efficiency of the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO, a building block for many chemical compounds.

The new approach “nudges” existing climate simulations closer to future reality.

What mathematicians call ‘disordered collections’ can help engineers explore real-world worst-case scenarios. The simple card game Set illustrates how to predict internet and electrical grid failures.

The sustainable and cost-saving structure could dissipate more than 95 percent of incoming wave energy using a small fraction of the material normally needed.

The behavior of granular materials has been difficult to visualize, but a new method reveals their internal forces in 3D detail.

Researchers demonstrate a technique that can be used to probe a model to see what it knows about new subjects.
