Mathematics
Technique could efficiently solve partial differential equations for numerous applications
MIT researchers propose “PEDS” method for developing models of complex physical systems in mechanics, optics, thermal transport, fluid dynamics, physical chemistry, climate, and more.
A flexible solution to help artists improve animation
This new method draws on 200-year-old geometric foundations to give artists control over the appearance of animated characters.
Envisioning the future of computing
MIT students share ideas, aspirations, and vision for how advances in computing stand to transform society in a competition hosted by the Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing.
Bringing the social and ethical responsibilities of computing to the forefront
The inaugural SERC Symposium convened experts from multiple disciplines to explore the challenges and opportunities that arise with the broad applicability of computing in many aspects of society.
New model offers a way to speed up drug discovery
By applying a language model to protein-drug interactions, researchers can quickly screen large libraries of potential drug compounds.
Using data to write songs for progress
Senior Ananya Gurumurthy adds her musical talents to her math and computer science studies to advocate using data for social change.
A better way to study ocean currents
A new machine-learning model makes more accurate predictions about ocean currents, which could help with tracking plastic pollution and oil spills, and aid in search and rescue.
