With a feel for physics, AI models simulate a wider range of real-world scenarios

“GeoPT” helps AI models understand the basics of physics so they can simulate how objects respond to things like wind and water more efficiently and accurately.

MIT projects selected for funding under US Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission

Initial research projects advance national priorities across natural resources, manufacturing, nuclear physics, and more.

MIT’s Initiative for New Manufacturing builds momentum

In its first year, INM has worked across research, workforce development, and industry engagement to help accelerate new manufacturing technologies and their real-world deployment.

Technology usually creates jobs for young, skilled workers. Will AI do the same?

A new study of the postwar U.S. shows which kinds of workers historically filled new tech-enabled jobs.

Q&A: Expanding MIT’s global reach through Universal Learning

Dimitris Bertsimas and Megan Mitchell discuss the motivation behind Universal Learning, and what sets the new MIT Open Learning educational initiative apart.

MIT researchers use AI to uncover atomic defects in materials

A new model measures defects that can be leveraged to improve materials’ mechanical strength, heat transfer, and energy-conversion efficiency.

Checking the quality of materials just got easier with a new AI tool

Acting as a “virtual spectrometer,” SpectroGen generates spectroscopic data in any modality, such as X-ray or infrared, to quickly assess a material’s quality.

MIT gears up to transform manufacturing

The Initiative for New Manufacturing is convening experts across the Institute to drive a transformation of production across the U.S. and the world.
