Asked to picture an entrepreneur, most people will probably conjure up an image of a gray-T-shirt wearing, nonconformist college dropout. Hollywood says that to pursue entrepreneurship, you must be bold, take risks, and reject all traditional academic paths. It therefore would seem strange for MIT, first and foremost an academic institution, to encourage students to…

Paul Samuelson, one of the most influential economists of the 20th century, was finishing his Harvard PhD thesis in 1940 when he was offered a job in the Harvard economics department. It was only an instructorship, but Samuelson, who was already gaining an international reputation, accepted. A month into the semester, MIT offered Samuelson a…

By day, Evan Kramer, SM ’22, works on his PhD in the Aero-Astro Space Systems Lab, developing a satellite tasking algorithm. (His goal is to efficiently tap into a network of satellites with synthetic aperture radar sensors, which can see through all weather and illumination­. This would let people quickly image a specific point on…

The first in his family to graduate from college, Richard Smallwood ’57, SM ’58, ScD ’62, remembers arriving at MIT certain he would flunk out. “Stick it out,” he recalls being urged by a teaching assistant in calculus. He did, earning bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering. Today, he credits scholarships and fellowships…

Computational models have been a major time saver when it comes to predicting which protein molecules could make effective drugs, but many of those methods themselves take a lot of time and computing power.  Now researchers at MIT and Tufts have devised an alternative approach based on an algorithm known as a large language model,…

Inspired by a technology developed thousands of years ago, MIT engineers have designed “smart” sutures that can not only hold tissue in place but also detect inflammation and release drugs. The new sutures are derived from animal tissue, similar to the “catgut” sutures first used by the ancient Romans. Catgut—which is made from strands of…

By infusing a salt into a material used in disposable diapers, MIT engineers have synthesized a superabsorbent gel that can soak up a record amount of moisture from even the driest air, offering a possible way to harvest drinkable water. The transparent, rubbery material combines the advantages of lithium chloride, a salt that can absorb…

Chemists from MIT and Duke University have discovered a counterintuitive way to make polymers stronger. Working with polyacrylate elastomers, which are polymer networks made from strands of acrylate held together by linking molecules, the researchers found that they could increase the materials’ resistance to tearing up to nearly tenfold by using a weaker type of…

'No one will stop us from ruling this country. You will be lost if you don't vote for Zanu-PF," said President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe.
