- “Life is short, so aim high” - MIT News
MIT professor Rafael Jaramillo seeks to develop new, more sustainable semiconductor materials His work could improve the economics and reduce the environmental footprint of semiconductors used in telecommunications, microelectronics, photovoltaics, and more
- Capturing cell growth in 3-D - MIT News
MIT spinout AIM Biotech has developed a microfluidics device that lets researchers co-culture multiple cell types in a 3-D hydrogel environment that mimics natural tissue, to more accurately study biological processes, such as cancer metastasis, and better capture how cancer cells react to chemotherapy agents
- The tenured engineers of 2025 - MIT News
In 2025, MIT granted tenure to 11 faculty members across the School of Engineering This year’s tenured engineers hold appointments in the departments of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Biological Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) — which reports jointly to the School of Engineering and MIT Schwarzman College of Computing — Materials
- How to aim a fire extinguisher - MIT News
The proper way to put out a fire is to aim the extinguisher at the base of the flames, not the top, and sweep side to side And, since practice makes perfect, students were invited to try out their technique on a live fire in East Campus courtyard last Friday for Campus Fire Safety Day

- Unpacking the bias of large language models - MIT News
MIT researchers discovered the underlying cause of position bias, a phenomenon that causes large language models to overemphasize the beginning or end of a document or conversation, while neglecting the middle They built a theoretical framework that can be used to diagnose and correct position bias in future model designs, leading to more accurate, reliable AI agents
- Consortium including MIT awarded $110M national grant to promote . . .
MIT will also host AIM Photonics’ program in education and workforce development, which Kimerling will direct This will include developing educational materials — ranging from K-12 through continuing education — to prepare future employees for this emerging industry, including teaching on the design of integrated photonic devices
- Math research team maps E8 - MIT News
The E 8 calculation is part of an ambitious project sponsored by AIM and the National Science Foundation known as the Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations The goal of the Atlas project is to determine the unitary representations-roughly speaking, symmetries of a quantum mechanical system-of all the Lie groups (E 8 is the largest of the
