A study finds specific cells in the lungs, nasal passages, and intestines that are more susceptible to infection.

An ad hoc team of engineers and doctors has developed a low-cost, open-source alternative, now ready for rapid production.

Getting people back to work quickly and safely is vital for the economy. Professor Alex Pentland outlines how testing and tech can help identify a “safe” workforce.

MIT’s vice president for research identifies three areas that show particular promise for climate action.

Classicist Stephanie Frampton traverses disciplines to study how the content and form of writing interacted in the ancient world.

MIT researchers developed a machine learning model that can help predict when Covid-19 infections will slow in different countries. They found that “any immediate or near-term relaxation or reversal of quarantine measures currently in place would lead to an ‘exponential explosion’ in the number of infections.”

A team in New York, inspired by the open-source ventilator design from the MIT E-Vent group, developed a lower cost ventilator now in production. The “hurry-up engineering feat” relied on a network of MIT professors, students, and alumni.

During a virtual conference, MIT researchers brought together experts from around the world to discuss efforts to develop digital contact tracing efforts that could help track the spread of Covid-19.

“MIT was among the first major institutions to give its grading policy a high-profile makeover, framing the national debate by implementing a type of pass/no record policy.”
