U.S. law incentivizes hospitals to digitize health records. This data could help improve and streamline care, but much of it is trapped in the jargon of doctors’ notes. Now CSAIL researchers have used large language models to help decipher these records.

For the first time, researchers sent quantum information across a quantum system in what could be understood as traversing a wormhole. Calculations showed that qubits traveled from one system of entangled particles to another in a model of gravity.

The Washington Post’s Karen Attiah notes that “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which features Riri Williams (Ironheart) as a Black female engineer at MIT, makes her “grateful that ‘Black Panther 2’ exists to show us what #BlackGirlGenius looks like.”

Neuroscientists have found that the adult brain has millions of “silent synapses” — immature neuronal connections that remain inactive until needed to help form new memories. Their presence may explain how the brain is able to absorb new information.

The brainchild of senior Tianyuan (Margaret) Zheng, Wide Tim is an adorable beaver who loves MIT, obtaining width, and injecting some levity into MIT life. His sole mission is to make people happy and smile. And by all accounts, he excels at his job.

Aerospace engineering senior Austen Roberson wants to work on fast-paced technologies that move society forward in a positive way: “All I can hope for is that I’m making an impact, and that I’m making a difference in people’s lives,” he says.
