Molecular biologist and professor emerita advocates for more inclusive science and advises how to get there.

With years of experience under its belt, MIT Medical works with the campus community to limit the spread of Covid-19.

MIT senior Darya Guettler advocates for climate action and broader deployment of zero-carbon energy sources.

Bernard Loyd ’83, SM ’85, PhD ’89, SM ’90 is building a better world beginning with his own neighborhood of Bronzeville on the South Side of Chicago.

Study suggests sea ice blocks the flow of carbon both into and out of the ocean, in roughly equal measure.

In a series of new papers, MIT researchers provide evidence that plans to develop a next-generation compact nuclear fusion reactor called SPARC should be feasible. “If we can overcome the engineering challenges, this machine will perform as we predict,” explains Martin Greenwald, deputy director for MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center.

Astronomers have found that the M87* black hole seems to be wobbling. “The wobbling is big news — it allows scientists to study the object's accretion flow. Studying that region is key to understanding how the black hole and surrounding matter interact with the host galaxy.”

A team of MIT researchers has uncovered hints of anomalous activity in heavy isotopes. “Most likely, we are measuring new nuclear physics, but there is the possibility of something else going on,” says Professor Vladan Vuletić.

“We back transformational technology that could shape a market and solve a huge world problem all in a go,” says The Engine CEO Katie Rae. “But it requires patience, it requires capital and it requires imagination on how to get these types of companies to market.”
