MIT professor of physics Pablo Jarillo-Herrero is among 10 researchers worldwide to receive this year’s prestigious Kavli Prize. news.mit.edu/2026/pablo-jar…
Some of the most important things in life feel ordinary, until you stop and think about what makes them possible. A cure. A car. A comet. Someone right now is chasing answers to questions we haven't even asked yet. This is #CuriosityOnAMission. 🔬 What are you curious about? curiositymission.org
A tiny twist can change everything. The 2026 #KavliPrize Laureates pioneered Twistronics, revealed how rotating ultra-thin materials to a precise “magic angle” unlocks extraordinary electron properties and new possibilities for quantum technologies and #nanoscience.
In the laboratory of physicist Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, the 'magician' of graphene: "My dream is to create a prestigious university in Spain like MIT" physics.mit.edu/?p=24657

We're thrilled to announce the 2026 #KavliPrize Laureates, scientists pushing boundaries of what humanity knows in #astrophysics #nanoscience #neuroscience. They have revealed new chapters in the story of our universe, the smallest materials, and how the brain works. 1/2
Congratulations to Pablo Jarillo-Herrero! The @MIT_Physics professor shares the 2026 Kavli Prize in Nanoscience “for foundational work that established the field of twistronics.” news.mit.edu/2026/pablo-jar…
Myriam Heiman named the director of The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory. Heiman, who studies neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, will lead the institute beginning July 1. picower.mit.edu/news/myriam-he… #neuroscience @ScienceMIT
Researchers in the Peng Lab use custom-built microscopy and nanotechnology to tag and follow the activity of individual proteins in real time. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…
Science is Curiosity on a Mission: It includes all of us who ask "why" and make it our mission to find out. These are the discoveries that move the country forward. The pursuit of ideas that seemed impossible until they weren’t. #CuriosityOnAMission
Congratulations to Class of 2026 Seniors Eric Bi, Katelyn Howard, Nina Petulla, Jason Schuler, Alex Tang, Titus Tsai, and Amy Wang, who have all been selected for induction into @PhiBetaKappa! chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…
Joey Davis' work has helped reveal that unlike building a house, which happens in a prescribed sequence of steps — pouring the foundation, building the frame, putting on the roof — ribosomes can be assembled in a more flexible way. Understanding how these structures form and later break down could help researchers learn more about how disruptions of these fundamental processes can lead to disease. news.mit.edu/2026/biologist…
Old hack, new tricks: The Green Building Tetris hack is up and running again, thanks to the dedication of a collection of MIT students who were willing to sink countless hours and resources into redesigning the hardware. buff.ly/Hnz9gt1

Researchers in the Cummins and Gilliard Labs have captured an elusive boron-oxygen ring. This discovery could expand the chemistry of boron-based reagents, providing new tools for oxidation reactions in synthesis and materials science. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…
Scientists have confirmed the detection of organic molecules on Mars. They were found in a sample collected by NASA's Curiosity Rover and analyzed using the rover's on-board mini lab called the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM). buff.ly/YbkA83O
Congratulations to Professor Brett McGuire, who, alongside @MITEECS Professor Jacob Andreas, has been selected as the winner of the 2026 Harold E. Edgerton Faculty Achievement Award. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…
At the 2026 NASA Red Sox STEM day, over 4,000 students and teachers learned about NASA’s missions before attending an afternoon game. The @TESSatMIT traveling transit model made the trip to Fenway to demonstrate how TESS searches for planets around distant stars!
Simon Friedman '89, a Curators Distinguished Professor of pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, has led the work to develop materials that can hold a well of insulin under the skin until activated by light. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…
