MIT Sloan researchers investigate word choice to help explain why female scientists are less likely than male peers to score highly on a grant proposal.

The fusion energy and turbulence modeling expert will succeed Dennis Whyte.

Techniques could lead to personalized wearable and implantable devices.

Ranked at the top for the eighth straight year, the Institute also places first in 11 of 48 disciplines.

New approach quickly finds hidden objects in dense point clouds, for use in driverless cars or work spaces with robotic assistants.

“If we are serious about reducing inequality in our country, it’s time to rethink and rework the fundamental framework of U.S. labor law to support the next generation’s labor movement,” write Professor Thomas Kochan and senior lecturer Barbara Dyer of how to address the growing issue of income inequality in the U.S.

MIT researchers pioneered the use of integrated circuits, technology that is an integral component of today’s digital technologies, in the Apollo 11 computer: “MIT, NASA, and the race to the moon laid the very foundation of the digital revolution, of the world we all live in.” 

A team of scientists, including MIT researchers, has uncovered evidence of a large mass, which could be the metallic core of an asteroid, under a crater on the dark side of the moon.

“When we think of medical breakthroughs, our minds often turn to new drugs and treatments,” writes Institute Professor Robert Langer. “However, innovations in biomaterials and medicine delivery processes are just as revolutionary and important as they pave the way for such advances.”
