Better Batteries A process called lithium intercalation determines how much power a lithium-ion battery can generate and how quickly it can charge. A new model of the reaction could guide the design of faster-charging, longer-lasting batteries. Full story via MIT News → Top Headlines Which transportation workers will be most impacted by AI? New research details the extent to which AI will affect jobs, tasks, and costs in the transportation industry. Full story via MIT Sloan→ MIT cognitive scientists reveal why some sentences stand out from others Sentences that are highly dissimilar from anything we’ve seen before are more likely to be remembered accurately. Full story via MIT News → Secretary of Energy Chris Wright ’85 visits MIT Panel discussions focused on innovation in many forms of energy, then a tour of campus featured student research. Full story via MIT News → #ThisisMIT Follow @sloanstudentlife on Instagram→ In the Media Researchers decode how protein language models think, making AI more transparent // The Scientist In an effort to better understand how protein language models (PLMs) think and better judge their reliability, MIT researchers applied a tool called sparse autoencoders, which can be used to make large language models more interpretable. The findings “may help scientists better understand how PLMs come to certain conclusions and increase researchers’ trust in them.”  Full story via The Scientist→ Did You Know? The MIT List Visual Arts Center first opened this week in 1985, in MIT’s Wiesner Building (Building E15). The List Center was designed by the late architect I.M. Pei ’40, and artists Scott Burton, Kenneth Noland, and Richard Fleischner collaborated with Pei to create a space dedicated to experimentation and interdisciplinarity — a defining spirit that continues today. Explore the milestones that shaped the List Center’s history → This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by the making of a one-of-a-kind dress. 🎯 Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful weekend! —MIT News Forward This Email Subscribe This email was sent to rh3252705.pese@blogger.com because of your affiliation with MIT, or because you signed up for our newsletters. subscribe update preferences unsubscribe view in browser MIT News Office · 77 Massachusetts Avenue · Cambridge, MA 02139 · USA
