| Killing Cancer | | | | | | | | One new weapon against cancer is a type of engineered immune cell known as CAR-NK cells, which can be tuned to attack cancer cells. Now, MIT researchers have come up with a new way to make CAR-NK cells less likely to be rejected by a patient’s immune system. | | | | Lincoln Lab unveils the most powerful AI supercomputer at any US university Optimized for generative AI, TX-GAIN is driving innovation in biodefense, materials discovery, cybersecurity, and other areas of research and development. |  | | | | | | | Palladium filters could enable cheaper, more efficient generation of hydrogen fuel The novel design allows the membranes to withstand high temperatures when separating hydrogen from gas mixtures. |  | | | | | | | Chemists create red fluorescent dyes that may enable clearer biomedical imaging The new dyes are based on boron-containing molecules that were previously too unstable for practical use. |  | | | | | | | Printable aluminum alloy sets strength records, may enable lighter aircraft parts Incorporating machine learning, MIT engineers developed a way to 3D print alloys that are much stronger than conventionally manufactured versions. |  | | | | | | | Uncovering new physics in metals manufacturing MIT researchers discovered a hidden atomic order that persists in metals even after extreme processing. |  | | | | | | | Lauren Williams PhD ’05 awarded MacArthur Fellowship The mathematician and MIT Corporation Visiting Committee member for the Department of Mathematics was honored with a “genius grant” for “uncovering transformative connections between algebraic combinatorics and problems in other areas of math and physics.” |  | | | | | | | The 10 best U.S. colleges if you want to earn a high salary — No. 1 can add over $114,000 // CNBC MIT has been named the top college in the country in the latest Wall Street Journal / College Pulse Best Salaries rankings, which identifies universities with the largest impact on graduates’ salary outcomes. | | | | | | | 50 colleges with the best ROI // Boston 25 In a new survey by Stacker, MIT has been named one of the top colleges in the country for return on investment. | | | | | | | We’ve been using lithium-ion batteries for decades. Now we know more about how they work // Gizmodo MIT researchers developed a model that illustrates the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries. The findings could “lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, and more.” | | | | | | | MIT Lincoln Laboratory develops ocean mapping technology in Boston Harbor // Chronicle Researchers at MIT Lincoln Laboratory are developing automated electric vessels as part of an effort to map the ocean floor and help improve search and rescue missions. | | | | | | | | | | In November 1995, renowned primatologist Jane Goodall spoke at MIT to a capacity audience of more than 500 in Room 10-250 (and in overflow space out in the hall). In a talk sponsored by the MIT List Visual Arts Center in connection with an exhibit on great apes, Goodall recalled her life in science and her decades-long work with chimpanzees in Africa. She followed the talk by signing autographs for many of the MIT community members in attendance. Goodall, who continued to speak around the world on environmental conservation for the next 30 years, died last week at age 91.

This 10/9, MIT.nano unveiled a collection of nanoStories, brief snippets that tell how everyday experiences are shaped by what happens when things get really (really) small. Based on writings by MIT students, the nanoStories provide a fascinating peek into life at the nanoscale, from medicines to gecko feet to tiny transistors to your morning drink. | | |
