Have you heard about the ’whom of which’ trend?
An MIT student and linguistics professor spot an emerging English phrase and examine what it tells us about syntax - but questions remain. Back in the spring of 2022, professor of linguistics David Pesetsky was talking to an undergraduate class about relative clauses, which add information to sentences.

Study sheds light on origins, changeability of blood stem cells in humans
A group of researchers at Yale School of Medicine has found that levels of diversity of blood stem cells are determined during the development of the embryo. All humans have a diverse set of blood stem cell types which dictate the composition and function of our blood and immune cells and ultimately help govern overall health.

Coloring outside the lines
Mathias Kolle's color-changing materials take inspiration from butterflies and mollusks. For Mathias Kolle, the wings of a butterfly are a window into a better material world. The insects' iridescence is a result of "structural color" rather than pigments or dyes: A single wing is layered with hundreds of thousands of microscopic scales that act as tiny reflectors, bouncing light from various angles and depths, to give butterflies their signature color and shimmer.

A Synthetic RNA Export System Reveals the Dynamic Lives of Cells and Suggests Direction for New Therapeutics
Cells change dynamically over time during embryonic development and aging, and in diseases such as inflammation and cancer. Some populations expand, others decline. The ability to track these changes over time, without killing the cells being measured, would provide powerful insights into many processes.

How Fish Evolved Their Bony, Scaly Armor
About 350 million years ago, your evolutionary ancestors-and the ancestors of all modern vertebrates-were merely soft-bodied animals living in the oceans. In order to survive and evolve to become what we are today, these animals needed to gain some protection and advantage over the ocean's predators, which were then dominated by crustaceans.

The Little Phage That Could
In the age of COVID-19, the word "virus" stirs up thoughts of contagion, sickness, and even death. But what if there were a virus-a very tiny virus capable of replicating itself hundreds of times every half hour-that could cure a severe bacterial infection resistant to all known antibiotics? It is this hope that motivates Bil Clemons, the Arthur and Marian Hanisch Memorial Professor of Biochemistry, to research the virus named φX174.

Generative AI imagines new protein structures
MIT researchers develop "FrameDiff," a computational tool that uses generative AI to craft new protein structures, with the aim of accelerating drug development and improving gene therapy. Biology is a wondrous yet delicate tapestry. At the heart is DNA, the master weaver that encodes proteins, responsible for orchestrating the many biological functions that sustain life within the human body.

When computer vision works more like a brain, it sees more like people do
Training artificial neural networks with data from real brains can make computer vision more robust. From cameras to self-driving cars, many of today's technologies depend on artificial intelligence to extract meaning from visual information. Today's AI technology has artificial neural networks at its core, and most of the time we can trust these AI computer vision systems to see things the way we do - but sometimes they falter.
