Mathematical modeling speeds up the process of programming bacterial systems to self-assemble into desired 2D shapes.

The Jameel Index for Food Trade and Vulnerability — a project supported by Community Jameel — will study the implications of climate change on food security as they relate to trade.

A 1972 report warned that unchecked consumption could crater the world economy by 2100. Fifty years and much debate later, can humanity innovate quickly enough to avoid that fate?

A new general-purpose optimizer can speed up the design of walking robots, self-driving vehicles, and other autonomous systems.

A new computational model could explain differences in recognizing facial emotions.

Pinpointing risks can also help businesses save money as they become more resilient.

Jonathan Weissman and collaborators used their single-cell sequencing tool Perturb-seq on every expressed gene in the human genome, linking each to its job in the cell.

MIT research highlights the opportunity to rethink global air quality guidelines.

A digital twin is to a computer model as live video is to a still photo. These virtual replicas can be used to understand and make predictions about a wide range of complex systems, including people.

By studying the dynamics of plasma turbulence, MIT researchers are helping to solve one of the mysteries of the origins of cosmological magnetic fields.
