Handle with care: Power and perils of compound semiconductors
In the realm of advanced electronics and photonics, compound semiconductors are the silent enablers of breakthrough performance in many applications. Built from materials like indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) or gallium arsenide (GaAs), these semiconductors enable applications that are beyond the capabilities of silicon devices. Examples include avalanche photodiodes (APDs) for ultra-sensitive infrared detection at eye-safe…
Changing the conversation in health care
Generative artificial intelligence is transforming the ways humans write, read, speak, think, empathize, and act within and across languages and cultures. In health care, gaps in communication between patients and practitioners can worsen patient outcomes and prevent improvements in practice and care.

Envisioning a future where health care tech leaves some behind
Will the perfect storm of potentially life-changing, artificial intelligence-driven health care and the desire to increase profits through subscription models alienate vulnerable patients? For the third year in a row, MIT’s Envisioning the Future of Computing Prize asked students to describe, in 3,000 words or fewer, how advancements in computing could shape human society for the better…
CLS Is the New Page Speed: Why Designers Need to Care More Than Developers
There was a time when “performance” lived in the dev team’s backlog, buried somewhere between “optimize bundle size” and “minify JavaScript.” Designers, meanwhile, were in their Figma or Sketch bubbles, pushing pixels, art-directing homepage heroes, and choosing typography like they were curating a museum show. But in 2025, that separation of church and code no…
Apple’s new app is DOA because they don’t care enough about gaming
Summary Apple is rumored to be working on a new app that will replace and expand Game Center, but it’s not going to do much to help gaming on Apple platforms. Executives just don’t treat gaming as a priority, and actively deter high-quality games via their hardware and App Store policies. It’s unlikely Apple will…
Q&A: A roadmap for revolutionizing health care through data-driven innovation
What if data could help predict a patient’s prognosis, streamline hospital operations, or optimize human resources in medicine? A book fresh off the shelves, “The Analytics Edge in Healthcare,” shows that this is already happening, and demonstrates how to scale it. Authored by Dimitris Bertsimas, MIT’s vice provost for open learning, along with two of Bertsimas’…
