| Understanding Headache | | | | | | | Tom Zeller’s new book, “The Headache,” sheds light on an agonizing ailment and examines the state of headache research — although, as Zeller notes, “Anything involving the brain or central nervous system is incredibly hard to study.” | | | | A new generative AI approach to predicting chemical reactions A system developed at MIT could provide realistic predictions for a wide variety of reactions, while maintaining real-world physical constraints. |  | | | | | | | Study finds cell memory can be more like a dimmer dial than an on/off switch The findings may redefine how cell identity is established and enable the creation of more sophisticated engineered tissues. |  | | | | | | | Ten years later, LIGO is a black-hole hunting machine LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA celebrate the anniversary of the first detection of gravitational waves and announce verification of Stephen Hawking’s black hole area theorem. |  | | | | | | | Alzheimer’s erodes brain cells’ control of gene expression, undermining function and cognition A study of 3.5 million cells from more than 100 human brains finds Alzheimer’s progression — and resilience to disease — depends on preserving epigenomic stability. |  | | | | | | | AI and machine learning for engineering design The popular mechanical engineering course applies machine learning and AI theory to real-world engineering design. |  | | | | | | | Remembering David Baltimore, influential biologist and founding director of the Whitehead Institute The longtime MIT professor and Nobel laureate was a globally respected researcher, academic leader, and science policy visionary who guided the careers of generations of scientists. |  | | | | | | | My day as an 80-year-old: What an age-simulation suit taught me // The Wall Street Journal To get a better sense of the physical and cognitive experience of aging, Wall Street Journal reporter Amy Dockser Marcus donned the MIT AgeLab’s age-simulation suit, called the “Age Gain Now Empathy System” (AGNES), and embarked on a number of activities, including shopping at the grocery store, riding the subway, crossing a busy street, and cooking a meal. | | | | | | | We’ve glimpsed the secret quantum landscape inside all matter // New Scientist MIT researchers developed the first full map of the quantum landscape that constrains how electrons move inside matter. | | | | | | | The best way to use AI for … financial planning, starting a hobby, and more // The Wall Street Journal Professor Andrew Lo discusses the use of AI tools in financial planning. Lo also advises being careful and a bit skeptical, and trying several AI platforms, then running the advice by a professional, a trusted family member, or friends. | | | | | | | Time 100 AI 2025 // Time MIT Dean of Digital Learning Cynthia Breazeal SM ’93, ScD ’00; Professor Regina Barzilay; Assistant Professor Priya Donti; and a number of MIT alumni have been named to Time’s 100 AI 2025 list. | | | | | | | | | | The broadcast news show Chronicle recently spotlighted Miguel Rosales SM ’87 and his work developing over 12 bridges in Boston, including the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge. “Boston is my city,” says Rosales, who first came to the area from Guatemala to study architecture and urban design at MIT over 40 years ago. “How these bridges have changed so many parts of the city ... that is very important in my life.” | | | | | | | I never knew I’d become an expert at picking karaoke playlists. But we found our rhythm here, and it’s been deeply rewarding. | | | —Raul Radovitzky, the Jerome C. Hunsaker Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, on his experience as Head of House at McCormick Hall along with his wife Flavia Cardarelli, senior administrative assistant in the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society | | | | | | MIT Face to Face, a drawing project inspired by Es Devlin, recipient of the 2025 Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts at MIT, aimed to build bridges across the MIT community. During a series of drawing sessions, strangers from all areas of MIT’s community were paired to draw one another and exchange their stories, creating a collective portrait of the Institute. | | |
