African entrepreneurs and tech leaders will take center stage at MIT's 2026 conference on global innovation, showcasing how the continent is solving worldwide challenges. More than 450 global leaders will gather to discuss Africa's booming fintech, renewable energy, and digital solutions.
MIT's Kalaniyot program, launched to bridge divides during Middle East conflict debates, just welcomed its second cohort of scholars from Israel. The faculty-led initiative now spans all five MIT schools, proving that academic collaboration can flourish even in polarized times.
Two tech entrepreneurs who built their billion-dollar company at MIT just donated $6 million to help the next generation of student founders turn their ideas into world-changing businesses. The gift will supercharge MIT's delta v accelerator, tripling funding for student startups and bringing in mentors from companies like HubSpot and Okta.
MIT researchers are joining a major national effort to revolutionize scientific discovery using artificial intelligence. The Department of Energy selected 15 MIT projects for its Genesis Mission, which combines AI with supercomputing to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, medicine, and national security.
For four decades, MIT's Patrick Winston taught packed lecture halls his famous "How to Speak" class before his passing in 2019. His timeless advice on communication continues inspiring people worldwide through MIT's free online archive.
When deadlines overwhelm graduate students, MIT Provost Anantha Chandrakasan steps in with a message that changes everything: one missed milestone won't define your career. His mentorship model is helping young researchers build confidence without burning out.
Researchers at MIT have solved a dangerous problem in AI: models that sound confident even when they're guessing. Their breakthrough helps AI admit uncertainty, making it safer for use in medicine, finance, and law.
Akirah Bradley-Armstrong will join MIT this October to lead student life for thousands of undergrad and graduate students. The accomplished educator brings decades of experience supporting student success, mental health, and campus community.
MIT researchers built ChartNet, a free training dataset with over 1 million charts that helps AI models understand business graphs and scientific figures. Small companies can now access powerful AI tools without massive budgets.
MIT researchers taught robots to predict their own future positions while moving, eliminating awkward pauses and making them twice as fast. The breakthrough could transform everything from emergency response to everyday tasks.
Scientists at MIT developed a way to make artificial intelligence explain its decisions using concepts humans can actually understand. The breakthrough could help doctors and others decide when to trust AI predictions in life-or-death situations.
A star from Ghana's beloved National Science and Mathematics Quiz just earned his computer science degree from MIT, one of the world's top universities. Prince Debrah's journey from high school quiz champion to MIT graduate shows what's possible when talent meets opportunity.
MIT researchers created VisiPrint, an AI tool that shows exactly how 3D-printed objects will look before printing, helping makers avoid wasteful reprints. The system could slash the estimated one-third of 3D printing material that currently ends up in landfills.
Nearly half of U.S. high schools don't offer calculus, effectively locking students out of STEM careers. MIT just launched a program connecting volunteer tutors with underserved students nationwide.
Engineers can now convert simple drawings into testable 3D prototypes in seconds, thanks to a new MIT system that teaches AI to learn from its own mistakes. The breakthrough could slash design costs and speed up innovation across industries.
A revolutionary steel designed at MIT in the 1980s conquered Formula One racing and is now coming home to power student-built race cars. The same material that gave Red Bull four world championships will compete this June in MIT's electric vehicle.
MIT physicists built a revolutionary terahertz microscope that reveals hidden quantum movements inside superconductors for the first time. This breakthrough could unlock room-temperature superconductors and faster wireless technology than anything we have today.
MIT researchers created MetaEase, a simple tool that finds hidden bugs in cloud computing algorithms before they cause real-world outages. The innovation could prevent the kind of service crashes that leave millions unable to access their apps.
Scientists at MIT just flipped the script on how we think our brains work. Instead of seeing something and then deciding what to do, your brain makes predictions first and shapes what you see based on what you need.
Chris Zegras, an MIT professor who helped pioneer autonomous vehicle trials in Singapore, will lead the university's only research center outside the US. The appointment strengthens a partnership that's already turned urban mobility research into real-world solutions.
