Helping power-system planners prepare for an unknown future

Macro, a modeling tool developed by the MIT Energy Initiative, enables energy-system planners to explore options for developing infrastructure to support decarbonized, reliable, and low-cost power grids.

New software designs eco-friendly clothing that can reassemble into new items

To reduce waste, the Refashion program helps users create outlines for adaptable clothing, such as pants that can be reconfigured into a dress. Each component of these pieces can be replaced, rearranged, or restyled.

AI and machine learning for engineering design

Popular mechanical engineering course applies machine learning and AI theory to real-world engineering design.

A greener way to 3D print stronger stuff

MIT CSAIL researchers developed SustainaPrint, a system that reinforces only the weakest zones of eco-friendly 3D prints, achieving strong results with less plastic.

A new generative AI approach to predicting chemical reactions

System developed at MIT could provide realistic predictions for a wide variety of reactions, while maintaining real-world physical constraints.

New technologies tackle brain health assessment for the military

Tools build on years of research at Lincoln Laboratory to develop a rapid brain health screening capability and may also be applicable to civilian settings such as sporting events and medical offices.

New machine-learning application to help researchers predict chemical properties

ChemXploreML makes advanced chemical predictions easier and faster — without requiring deep programming skills.

AI shapes autonomous underwater “gliders”

An AI pipeline developed by CSAIL researchers enables unique hydrodynamic designs for bodyboard-sized vehicles that glide underwater and could help scientists gather marine data.

3D modeling you can feel

TactStyle, a system developed by CSAIL researchers, uses image prompts to replicate both the visual appearance and tactile properties of 3D models.

MIT students’ works redefine human-AI collaboration

Projects from MIT course 4.043/4.044 (Interaction Intelligence) were presented at NeurIPS, showing how AI transforms creativity, education, and interaction in unexpected ways.
