Custom hardware helps deliver safety and security for electric traction
Electric traction has become a critical part of a growing number of systems that need efficient motion and position control. Motors do not just provide the driving force for vehicles, from e-bikes to cars to industrial and agricultural machinery. They also enable a new generation of robots, whether they use wheels, propellers or legs for…
AI helps astronomers better explore the universe
Science Published 4 September 2025 Authors Brendan Tracey, Jonas Buchli Our novel Deep Loop Shaping method improves control of gravitational wave observatories, helping astronomers better understand the dynamics and formation of the universe. To help astronomers study the universe’s most powerful processes, our teams have been using AI to stabilize one of the most sensitive…
Why I still use a Lenovo Thinkpad that debuted in 2011 — the X220 helps me stay focused on my most important tasks
IBM and later Lenovo’s Thinkpad laptops are, to me, beautiful slabs of computing that may not be the most elegant pieces of technology, but they are workhorses. In fact, I have an older Lenovo X220 that was released all the way back in 2011, but I still find it useful even today to help me…

This “smart coach” helps LLMs switch between text and code
Large language models (LLMs) excel at using textual reasoning to understand the context of a document and provide a logical answer about its contents. But these same LLMs often struggle to correctly answer even the simplest math problems. Textual reasoning is usually a less-than-ideal way to deliberate over computational or algorithmic tasks. While some LLMs…
AI-enabled control system helps autonomous drones stay on target in uncertain environments
An autonomous drone carrying water to help extinguish a wildfire in the Sierra Nevada might encounter swirling Santa Ana winds that threaten to push it off course. Rapidly adapting to these unknown disturbances inflight presents an enormous challenge for the drone’s flight control system. To help such a drone stay on target, MIT researchers developed a…
