Congratulations to Professor Matteo Bucci who received the 2027 MathWorks Faculty Research Fellowship which recognizes midcareer faculty for outstanding research contributions and leadership in their field. engineering.mit.edu/news/mat…
MIT researchers developed a precise X-ray and laser method for tracking how heat moves in layered electronics; it could offer better understanding of overheating in devices and development of more power-dense electronics. news.mit.edu/2026/new-way-wa…
MIT Professors Dennis Whyte and Andrew W. Lo outline a framework for making fusion energy commercially viable, focusing on the physical inputs for sustained fusion and the plant costs needed to compete in energy markets.
