Digital medical records + scientists observe entanglement + kids who code

Researchers at the Center for Theoretical Physics lead work on testing quantum gravity on a quantum processor.

Battery power from electric vehicles to the grid could open a fast lane to a net-zero future.

“Almost everything that happens in the world is first a plan that then has to get articulated,” says Suzanne Lane ’85, director of MIT’s Writing, Rhetoric, and Professional Communication program.

A new machine-learning method streamlines the process of discovering the magnetic structure of crystalline materials.

Researchers have found that a huge, bright flash in the sky observed earlier this year was a black hole jet pointing straight toward Earth. “At its peak, the source appeared brighter than 1,000 trillion suns,” says Research Scientist Dheeraj “DJ” Pasham.

Professor Yasheng Huang examines the roots of the protests underway in China. “Covid protests are occurring at the height of China’s autocratic moment,” writes Huang. “While there are calls for free speech and elections, the rallying cry since Sunday has been against a jarring oppression: the incarceration of hundreds of millions of people in their homes and in field hospitals.”
