For 250 years, discovery, courage, and tenacity have driven America forward. From medicine to infrastructure to breakthroughs we can't yet imagine, science touches every part of daily life because someone followed their curiosity.
A new chip could help tiny robots traverse complex environments. Researchers combined an efficient algorithm with dedicated hardware to rapidly generate 3D maps for navigation using minimal memory and power.
Body temperature is usually measured using an oral or forehead thermometer. To make it more feasible to measure core body temperature, engineers have developed an ingestible sensor that can send continuous temperature updates from the GI tract.
Ferveret is making data centers more sustainable by reducing the amount of energy and water needed to cool AI chips. Adapted from nuclear technology, the company’s system submerges computer servers in a specialized liquid that efficiently absorbs heat.
This fact sheet offers a high-level summary of the many steps MIT leaders have taken to support our vibrant Jewish community.
In a world without MIT, radar wouldn’t have been available to help win World War II. We might not have email, CT scans, time-release drugs, photolithography, or GPS. And we’d lose over 30,000 companies, employing millions of people. Can you imagine?
MIT’s vital research and education — on topics such as human health, energy innovation, quantum computing, and advanced manufacturing — continue to advance national security, economic competitiveness, and quality of life for all Americans.
