Mixing generative AI with physics to create personal items that work in the real world

To help generative AI models create durable, real-world accessories and decor, the PhysiOpt system runs physics simulations and makes subtle tweaks to its 3D blueprints.

AI to help researchers see the bigger picture in cell biology

By providing holistic information on a cell, an AI-driven method could help scientists better understand disease mechanisms and plan experiments.

Enhancing maritime cybersecurity with technology and policy

Strahinja Janjusevic brings an international perspective and US Naval Academy education to his graduate research in the MIT Technology and Policy Program.

Parking-aware navigation system could prevent frustration and emissions

By minimizing the need to drive around looking for a parking spot, this technique can save drivers up to 35 minutes — and give them a realistic estimate of total travel time.

Personalization features can make LLMs more agreeable

The context of long-term conversations can cause an LLM to begin mirroring the user’s viewpoints, possibly reducing accuracy or creating a virtual echo-chamber.

Accelerating science with AI and simulations

Associate Professor Rafael Gómez-Bombarelli has spent his career applying AI to improve scientific discovery. Now he believes we are at an inflection point.

Using synthetic biology and AI to address global antimicrobial resistance threat

Driven by overuse and misuse of antibiotics, drug-resistant infections are on the rise, while development of new antibacterial tools has slowed.

AI algorithm enables tracking of vital white matter pathways

Opening a new window on the brainstem, a new tool reliably and finely resolves distinct nerve bundles in live diffusion MRI scans, revealing signs of injury or disease.

3 Questions: Using AI to help Olympic skaters land a quint

MIT Sports Lab researchers are applying AI technologies to help figure skaters improve. They also have thoughts on whether five-rotation jumps are humanly possible.

Study: Platforms that rank the latest LLMs can be unreliable

Removing just a tiny fraction of the crowdsourced data that informs online ranking platforms can significantly change the results.
