The brain uses the same representations to navigate through space physically or mentally, neuroscientists report. “These cognitive maps are being recruited to perform mental navigation, without any sensory input or motor output,” says Mehrdad Jazayeri.

A new computer vision technique speeds up the characterization of newly synthesized electronic materials. From solar cells to LEDs, the potential applications “span the full gamut of where semiconductor materials can benefit society,” Aleks Siemenn says.

MIT professors Nancy Kanwisher, Robert Langer, and Sara Seager have won 2024 Kavli Prizes in neuroscience, nanoscience, and astrophysics, respectively.

“Interdisciplinarity thrives at MIT, and it’s very important for technologies like quantum,” says Will Oliver of the MIT Center for Quantum Engineering. “As we build quantum technologies, we need to draw on information from different expertise.”
