CNBC covered Quaise Energy, an MIT spinoff in geothermal energy. “We intend to build the first-in-the-world superhot, or super critical geothermal power plant, to show exactly that 10X output that you get by going hotter,” said Carlos Araque ’01 MS ’02.

AI is changing how businesses store and access their data; Cloudian, co-founded by Michael Tso ’93, SM ’93, is helping storage keep up with the AI revolution. Its storage systems are helping businesses feed data-hungry AI models and agents at scale.

A new transmitter chip increases the energy efficiency of wireless communications, which could boost the range and battery life of smartphones and other networked devices. “By thinking outside the box, we created a more efficient, intelligent circuit,” Muriel Médard says.

MIT spinout Tissium offers surgeons a new solution for suture-free nerve repair, with flexible polymers that conform to surrounding tissues. “It’s wonderful to see the research we started at MIT reach the point of FDA approval and change people’s lives,” Bob Langer says.

In a world without MIT, radar wouldn’t have been available to help win World War II. We might not have email, CT scans, time-release drugs, photolithography, or GPS. And we’d lose over 30,000 companies, employing millions of people. Can you imagine?

​Since its founding, MIT has been key to helping American science and innovation lead the world. Discoveries that begin here generate jobs and power the economy — and what we create today builds a better tomorrow for all of us.
