Named after a goddess of the dawn, the Thesan simulation of the first billion years helps explain how radiation shaped the early universe.

These coordinated movements of a flock of starlings follow no plan or leader. Scientists used to think the animals must communicate via ESP to create these fast-moving blobs.

Researchers create a mathematical framework to examine the genome and detect signatures of natural selection, deciphering the evolutionary past and future of non-coding DNA.

Lincoln Laboratory leads a large-scale measurement campaign in New York City to improve air dispersion models and emergency protocols.

The technique can help predict a cell’s path over time, such as what type of cell it will become.

Computational modeling shows that both our ears and our environment influence how we hear.

Understanding how brain folding works could help researchers better diagnose and treat neurodevelopmental disorders.

Climate models can’t see tornadoes yet, but they can recognize the conditions for tornadoes to form. An atmospheric scientist explains what that means for forecasting future risks.

By incorporating the scattering of RF waves into fusion simulations, MIT physicists improve heating and current drive predictions for fusion plasmas.

Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain.
