As machine learning and generative AI reshape the world, MIT’s Schwarzman College of Computing is integrating these and other advanced computing technologies into classrooms and labs across campus.

Pivot Bio, co-founded by Chris Voigt, has developed a nitrogen product that is replacing synthetic fertilizer across millions of acres of American farmland. Based on nitrogen-producing microbes, the technology is helping to make farming more sustainable and efficient.

MTL engineers have developed a fully 3D-printed electrospray engine. Ideal for propelling tiny satellites, the lightweight device could be produced on board a spacecraft and cost much less than traditional thrusters.

Xiao Wang studies how and where RNA is translated into proteins within cells — illuminating how cells control their fate and what goes wrong in disease, especially in the brain. Her work could lead to the development of better RNA-based drugs and vaccines.

With technology developed at MIT, 6K is bringing the production of critical minerals and materials back to the U.S. “The markets and critical materials we are focused on are important for not just economic reasons but also U.S. national security,” Saurabh Ullal says.
