| Light’s Dual Identity | | | | | | | | Working with single atoms, MIT physicists recently stripped the famous double-slit experiment down to its quantum essentials. Their work confirms, with the most idealized experiment yet, that light exists as both a wave and a particle but cannot be observed in both forms at the same time. | | | | Astronomers discover star-shredding black holes hiding in dusty galaxies Unlike active galaxies that constantly pull in surrounding material, these black holes lie dormant, waking briefly to feast on a passing star. |  | | | | | | | New tool gives anyone the ability to train a robot MIT engineers designed a versatile interface that allows users to teach robots new skills in intuitive ways. |  | | | | | | | MIT Learn offers “a whole new front door to the Institute” The AI-enabled platform serves as a hub for MIT’s lifelong learning opportunities. |  | | | | | | | The “productivity paradox” of AI adoption in manufacturing firms Companies that adopt industrial artificial intelligence see productivity losses before longer-term gains, according to new research. |  | | | | | | | Five MIT faculty elected to the National Academy of Sciences for 2025 Rodney Brooks, Parag Pathak, Scott Sheffield, Benjamin Weiss, Yukiko Yamashita, and 13 MIT alumni are recognized by their peers for their outstanding contributions to research. |  | | | | | | | InvenTeams turns students into inventors The Lemelson-MIT program challenges student teams across the country to solve problems in their communities — and present their inventions at MIT. |  | | | | | | | Bionic knee helps amputees walk naturally again // Fox News Professor Hugh Herr and his colleagues developed a new prosthetic that could increase mobility for above-the-knee amputees. | | | | | | | Opinion: AI is reimagining retirement, but who’s plugging it in? // Forbes Joseph Coughlin, director of the MIT AgeLab, explores the role of technology in the lives of retirees. | | | | | | | The way people walk in cities has changed // Newsweek MIT researchers have found that “pedestrians in three major northeastern U.S. cities — Boston, New York, and Philadelphia — are moving 15 percent faster than they did in 1980.” | | | | | | | MIT’s Andrew Lo sees AI ready to run your money in five years // Bloomberg News Professor Andrew Lo discusses how artificial intelligence tools could be applied to the financial services industry. | | | | | | | | | | In a recent TED talk, Ariel Ekblaw SM ’17, PhD ’20 reveals a roadmap for space infrastructure focused on the public good. The TESSERAE project, a self-assembling autonomous robotic system, was developed while Ekblaw was pursuing her PhD at the MIT Media Lab and offers an efficient method for building space habitats and stations. In her continued research in space infrastructure through the Aurelia Institute, a nonprofit research lab for space technology and architecture, Ekblaw hopes to build “an aspirational future for humanity wherever we are: on Earth, in orbit around Earth, or beyond.” | | | Collegiate Collaborations | | | | | | | MIT researchers work regularly with colleagues at universities across the U.S. to devise new solutions to complex challenges. These connections demonstrate how shared expertise and diverse viewpoints can amplify discovery and accelerate solutions that benefit communities across America and beyond. Recently, MIT and Carnegie Mellon University researchers created CHARCHA (Computer Human Assessment for Recreating Characters with Human Actions), a secure verification protocol that allows an individual’s likeness to appear in generative video content. Inspired by CAPTCHA’s verification legacy, CHARCHA relies on real-time physical interactions such as the poses shown above, to differentiate between humans and bots. By ensuring a person is interacting with the system, CHARCHA prevents pre-recorded video or still images from bypassing verification — and could be an essential tool for tackling the growing threat of unauthorized deepfakes. | | |
