Leuko, founded by a research team at MIT, is giving doctors a noninvasive way to monitor cancer patients’ immune health during chemotherapy. Rather than drawing blood, the device uses light to look through the skin at the top of the fingernail.
Arvind, longtime MIT professor and prolific computer scientist, dies at 77
The dedicated teacher and academic leader transformed research in computer architectures, parallel computing, and digital design, enabling faster and more efficient computation.
The SPARROW algorithm automatically identifies the best molecules to test as potential new medicines, given the vast number of factors affecting each choice.
Scientists may have found an answer to the mystery of dark matter. It involves an unexpected byproduct // CNN
MIT physicists have discovered the composition of primordial black holes, “potentially discovering an entirely new type of exotic black hole in the process.”
What “naked” singularities are revealing about quantum space-time // New Scientist
Associate Professor Netta Engelhardt discusses the possibility of singularities existing outside black holes. Theorists can now probe singularities from a deeper perspective, using insights into the possible quantum foundations of gravity.

Remember This
In a new episode of the MIT Supply Chain Frontiers podcast, members of the MIT Low Income Firms Transformation (LIFT) Lab — Director Josué Velázquez Martínez, postdoc Sreedevi Rajagopalan, and graduate student Fabio Castro — discuss the lab’s work empowering micro retailers and nanostores in emerging markets to lift themselves out of poverty. These retailers, while making up an overwhelming majority of retail business in their regions, are at a significant disadvantage when dealing with large suppliers and competing with large retailers. Using AI, the LIFT Lab is helping these retailers enhance their business decision-making and supply chain capabilities to help them survive and thrive. Listen to the full episode→
