40 Hz vibrations reduce Alzheimer’s pathology, symptoms...

June 5, 2023

Evidence that noninvasive sensory stimulation of 40 Hz gamma frequency brain rhythms can reduce Alzheimer’s disease pathology and symptoms, already shown with light and sound by multiple research groups in mice and humans, now extends to tactile stimulation. A new study by MIT scientists shows that Alzheimer’s model mice exposed to 40 Hz vibration for an hour a day for several weeks showed improved brain health and motor function compared to untreated controls. The MIT group is not the...

New MIT fellowship supports student research on...

June 5, 2023

This summer, five MIT graduate students will travel to Mexico, Brazil, Kenya, and Cape Verde as part of a new fellowship to explore how governance innovations are making governments more transparent and accountable to citizens in regions of the world that are underrepresented in global innovation and design research. The students will be embedded within government innovation labs, or other think tanks that work closely with governments, for eight to 12 weeks. They will research the challenges and opportunities...

Computational model mimics humans’ ability to predict...

June 5, 2023

When interacting with another person, you likely spend part of your time trying to anticipate how they will feel about what you’re saying or doing. This task requires a cognitive skill called theory of mind, which helps us to infer other people’s beliefs, desires, intentions, and emotions. MIT neuroscientists have now designed a computational model that can predict other people’s emotions — including joy, gratitude, confusion, regret, and embarrassment — approximating human observers’ social intelligence. The model was designed...

How MIT’s fab labs scaled around the...

June 5, 2023

What do a student tinkerer in Bhutan, a design professional in Nairobi, and an artist in Brazil have in common? They’re part of a global community of makers benefiting from the fab lab network, which provides the space, equipment, and training to make (almost) anything. Today the fab lab network includes more than 2,500 centers across 125 countries, including places as remote as northern Norway and as populated as the city centers of Cairo and Barcelona. Each lab provides...

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu asks SA+P advanced...

June 2, 2023

Evoking the historic impact that the late urban planners and MIT faculty Tunney Lee and Mel King had on the city, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu challenged the 2023 graduates of MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) to remember to put people first throughout their careers. “Everything you sketch, plan, shape, and build — the spaces and places we create — are empty without people,” said Wu. “Not just literally, but in terms of their energy, purpose, and spirit, because it’s...

In today’s MIT undergraduate commencement ceremony, students got a chance to walk across the stage on Killian Court and receive the ultimate reward for all their hard work at MIT — their diplomas.

Below is the text of Chancellor Melissa Nobles’ Commencement remarks, as prepared for delivery today. Thank you, President Kornbluth. And good morning, everyone! To the Class of 2023, I know this isn’t just any regular good morning. Am I right about that? That’s what I thought. No, this is one of those very good mornings – the kind that maybe seemed like it would never get here but, at long last, is upon us. This is more than your...

June 1, 2023

At today’s OneMIT Commencement ceremony, Mark Rober — engineer, inventor, and YouTuber — urged MIT’s graduating class to cultivate a sense of optimism and collaboration, and, in our uncertain world, to “pick what you think is the best path and just move forward.” A warm and sunny Killian Court served as the setting for a festive and energetic event, with thousands of graduates in attendance with family, friends, and MIT community members. Rober encouraged graduates to positively impact the...

June 1, 2023

Below is the text of President Sally Kornbluth’s Commencement remarks, as prepared for delivery today. Anna, and A.J. – thank you both, for your remarks and for your leadership. There’s an old piece of wisdom from show business: Never follow an act with kids, or animals – or, as we’ve just seen…with Mark Rober! But since A.J. and Anna rose to the challenge…I’ll give it my best shot too. Technically, as president, it’s my role to deliver “the charge to...

Driven to driverless

May 31, 2023

When Cindy Heredia was choosing an MBA program, she knew she wanted to be at the forefront of the autonomous driving industry. While doing research, she discovered that MIT had a unique offering: a student-run driverless team. Heredia applied to MIT to join the team, hoping to get hands-on experience. “My hope is that we’re able to find ways to leverage tools and technologies, such as ride-sharing and autonomous vehicles, and harness the variety of modes available to serve...

He made linear algebra fun

May 31, 2023

The following series of numbers might help to summarize the MIT career of MathWorks Professor of Mathematics Gilbert “Gil” Strang ’55, who taught his last class on May 15. 3+2+61=66, or 75% of his life Strang has spent 66 of his 88 years at MIT — as a student, an instructor, and a faculty member. “There were about eight math majors then,” says Strang, a William Barton Rogers Scholar who took just three years to graduate from MIT with...
