Big ideas need bold support.
Three MIT-led research teams have been selected for funding through the U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission, an initiative that uses AI to accelerate scientific discovery and tackle major challenges in energy, manufacturing, biotechnology, quantum information science, and more.
Among the selected projects are two led by RLE faculty:
⚛️ Developing AI-driven approaches to design and optimize quantum devices.
🔬 Advancing next-generation materials and technologies through interdisciplinary research.
These awards highlight the power of collaboration across MIT and the growing role of AI in shaping the future of scientific discovery.

A new study from MIT researchers could help to enable next-generation lidar sensors that are compact, durable, and have no moving parts. The key advance is a novel design for a silicon-photonics chip, which is a semiconductor device that manipulates light rather than electricity. news.mit.edu/2026/photonics-…

In a new Boston Globe Opinion essay, MIT President Emeritus L. Rafael Reif calls for a simple, globally understood “moral floor” for AI: principles that keep people in ultimate control and prohibit deception, harm, exploitation, and evasion of human oversight. bostonglobe.com/2026/09/02/o…

ALT An image that reads "Working at the intersection of cultural history, religious studies, and musicology, Makoto Harris Takao, the Class of 1957 Career Development Professor, maps Japan’s entanglement with other world regions over the past 500 years. His current book project, “The Clef and the Cross: Music and Kirishitan Transculturation in Sixteenth-Century Japan,” asks what early modern Japanese Catholicism sounded like and how it was understood and expressed through Buddhist frameworks of sound, music, and movement. Takao completed a joint PhD in history and musicology at the University of Western Australia."

We were delighted to host the Minister and Chief Innovation Officer of #SierraLeone and his daughters last week. We love it when MIT alums return to campus with their children - especially if those children are interested in learning about the brain! 🥰🧠
I took the girls to the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT where 15 yrs ago we pioneered a method of using MRI and finite element analysis to invent prosthetic socket design. They met with my professor and learned about Purkinje neurons from the best in the field.
