MIT Professor Xiao Wang's research is focused on developing tools that pinpoint where in a cell different types of messenger RNA are translated into proteins — information that can offer insight into how cells control their fate and what goes wrong in disease.

The U.S. has streamlined the process for an immigrant to become a citizen under President Biden, something one expert argues is a political strategy to gain voters.

Following a student-led nomination process, 23 MIT faculty have been selected as the newest honorees for the Committed to Caring award. These professors were selected for their genuine dedication to student mentorship and well-being.

For researchers studying how proteins can cause human disease, knowing precisely where proteins are made within cells and tissues could help them learn about their role in disease and come up with new treatments.

Supreme Court justices appeared nearly unanimously aligned during oral arguments Wednesday that lower courts applied an unfair burden of proof to a woman who filed a reverse discrimination claim against a state employer.

MIT faculty members Jacob Andreas, Adam Belay, Soonwon Choi, Maryam Farboodi, Lina Necib, Arvind Satyanarayan, Andrew Vanderburg, and Xiao Wang have won 2024 Sloan Research Fellowships to advance their research in chemistry, physics, computer science, and finance.

MIT investigators Guoping Feng, Ila Fiete, Satra Ghosh, and Ian Wickersham receive NIH BRAIN Initiative grants to support research projects that have the potential to reveal an unprecedented and dynamic picture of the connected networks in the brain.

Computational imaging has seen tremendous progress in the last decade. The process involves using a combination of advanced algorithms and hardware to create images that cannot otherwise be captured by traditional cameras.

Seattle tech leaders shared both praise and concern over a highly anticipated ruling from the Washington state Supreme Court on Friday allowing a new capital gains tax to move forward.… Read More

The disappearance of a supportive financial institution, which may have given them their first business credit card or mortgage, hits a bit different for foreign-born entrepreneurs.

MIT and Harvard University researchers have devised a way to achieve long-term changes in neuron activity. With their new strategy, they can use light exposure to change the electrical capacitance of the neurons' membranes, which alters their excitability (how strongly or weakly they respond to electrical signals).

Many immigrants want to get citizenship in time to vote in the upcoming election. The Biden administration says the uptick in new citizens is due to efforts to reduce a backlog of applications that mounted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

MIT PhD student Xinyi Zhang is bridging machine learning and biology to understand fundamental biological principles, especially in areas where conventional methods have hit limitations.

GloRilla is the face of a new campaign captured by photographer Angelo Pennetta for a soon-to-launch collaboration from Tommy Jeans and Aries.

Lawful permanent residents are becoming naturalized United States citizens at a pace unseen since 2013 and 2014, potentially reshaping the electorate ahead of the election.

Recording the activity of large populations of single neurons in the brain over long periods of time is crucial to further our understanding of neural circuits, to enable novel medical device-based therapies and, in the future, for brain–computer interfaces requiring high-resolution electrophysiological information.

A new report from tech company Boundless Immigration argues that the show may have led to increased scrutiny of visa applications.

Universal Meditech was behind an illegal lab discovered in Reedley, California.
