The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a world leader in research and education. MIT is independent, coeducational, and privately endowed.

Its five schools and one college encompass numerous academic departments, divisions and degree-granting programs, as well as interdisciplinary centers, laboratories and programs whose work cuts across traditional departmental boundaries. MIT reserves the right to hide or delete comments that are deemed, in our sole view, commercial, harmful, inappropriate, erroneous, spreads misinformation, harassing, libelous, threatening, discriminatory, or wildly off-topic.

Researchers designed an implantable drug-delivery device they hope could prevent recurrence of glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain tumor. Ultrasound transducers printed onto the device use sound waves to help drugs pass through the blood-brain barrier. https://news.mit.edu/2026/implantable-device-uses-ultrasound-improve-drug-delivery-brain-1026

A new computer simulation shows how the universe’s earliest galaxies, stars, and other structures likely developed during the first 2 billion years after the Big Bang. The model includes extremely fine details across huge volumes of space. https://news.mit.edu/2026/watch-universe-emerge-from-dark-ages-with-lumina-1026

An MIT spinout is making surgical stitching more like applying tape: SanaHeal has developed a biologically compatible adhesive that sticks to wet tissues. Its product was inspired by sticky materials in nature, like barnacles and spider webs. https://news.mit.edu/2026/sanaheal-makes-surgical-stitching-more-like-applying-sticky-note-1020

AI has reshaped materials science by proposing new structures. But many potential structures are stored in databases, inaccessible to large language models. To overcome this, researchers created a vision-language model for crystalline materials. https://news.mit.edu/2026/giving-ai-crystal-clear-view-of-materials-world-1018

A new technique significantly improves weather forecasting beyond two weeks. The researchers developed a machine-learning model that learns to correct errors in existing forecasting models to improve their output over the two-to-six-week time frame, including for extreme weather events. https://news.mit.edu/2026/researchers-improve-weather-forecasts-looking-two-six-weeks-out-1014

MIT engineers have developed a new way to program natural killer (NK) immune cells to target cancerous T cells or T cells that have become autoreactive, leading to diseases such as lymphoma and autoimmune hepatitis. https://news.mit.edu/2026/reprogrammed-nk-immune-cells-target-cancer-and-autoimmune-disorders-1013
