MIT Medical shares guidance on protecting yourself and loved ones from airborne viruses including Covid-19, influenza, and RSV.

In his new book, “Life Is Hard,” MIT philosopher Kieran Setiya offers guidance for tackling the (many) problems we face.

MIT Sloan professor John Sterman unpacks the implications of companies’ net zero emissions goals and offers a framework for real impact.

The device provides greater sensitivity and speed than previous versions, and could be used for industrial inspection, airport security, and communications.

Kate (Zimmerman) Anderson ’00 thought she wanted to become an astronaut, but she became more interested in sustainability and renewable resources.

Professor Kripa Varanasi and his colleagues have founded Alsym Energy, a startup developing “a new kind of rechargeable battery that delivers the performance of lithium-ion cells at half the cost.”

Scientists from MIT, Duke University, and Stanford University created a technique to help make gene therapies safer and more effective. “It’s about making these therapies much smarter and programmable,” says Jonathan S. Gootenberg, a research scientist at MIT’s McGovern Institute.

C16 Biosciences, co-founded by MIT alumni, is developing a palm oil alternative called Palmless. “What we are building is a platform technology that can produce all different kinds of microbial oils,” explains David Heller ’18, C16 Biosciences co-founder and head of operations. “It’s definitely possible that we’re able to make other kinds of vegetable oil replacements in the future.”

MIT researchers developed a machine-learning model that can identify and track blobs of plasma created in controlled nuclear fusion research. “Fusion research is a complex, multidisciplinary project that requires technologies from many fields,” explains graduate student Woonghee “Harry” Han.
