High school sophomore Abigail Merchant has made it her mission to use technology to reduce flood-related deaths. The 15-year-old lives in Orlando, Fla., a state where flooding is frequent in part because of its low elevation.The changing climate is increasing the risk. Warmer air holds more water, leading to heavier-than-usual rainfall and more flooding, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“At MIT, innovation ranges from awe-inspiring technology to down-to-Earth creativity,” noted Chronicle, during a campus visit this year for an episode of the program. In 2025, MIT researchers made headlines across print publications, podcasts, and video platforms for key scientific advances, from breakthroughs in quantum and artificial intelligence to new efforts aimed at improving pediatric health care and cancer diagnosis.MIT faculty, researchers, students, alumni and staff helped demystify new technologies, highlighted the practical hands-on learning the Institute is known for, and shared what inspires their research with viewers, readers and listeners around the world. Below is a sampling of news moments…
On December 8, we hosted the first Empower & Connect Summit at Cisco’s campus in Raleigh, NC, bringing together partners, innovators, and communities to explore how technology can drive meaningful social impact. At the center of that energy was the Community Innovation Challenge. In partnership with Net Impact we invited students from around the world to pitch their boldest ideas: how would they use Cisco technology to address critical challenges in their own communities? We received 84 proposals from 12 countries, with the top five teams advancing to present in person at the Summit. There, a panel of experts evaluated…

Apple’s engineers may have long recognized the widespread desire among iOS developers to recreate the elegant hero animation featured in the App Store app. Understanding the complexity and time investment typically required to implement such animations from scratch, Apple has incorporated this feature into the iOS 18 SDK.With this update, you can now achieve a similar animated transition effect in your own apps using just a few lines of code. This significant enhancement empowers developers to create visually appealing and seamless transitions, elevating the overall user experience of their apps.In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to leverage the new NavigationTransition protocol and…
Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) has announced a reference platform that addresses issues holding back software-defined vehicles (SDVs).As manufacturers attempt to transition toward SDVs, the traditional reliance on specific hardware availability often creates bottlenecks that delay feature deployment and increase integration costs. Named SoDeV, AGL’s open-source platform is designed to enable software-first development that is not bound by hardware constraints.Developed through a collaboration led by Panasonic Automotive Systems, Honda, and the AGL SDV Expert Group, SoDeV seeks to standardise how manufacturers approach hardware abstraction and cloud integration.Getting software-defined vehicles on the roadThe current automotive development model often forces software teams to…
True Ventures co-founder Jon Callaghan doesn’t think we’ll be using smartphones the way we do now in five years — and maybe not at all in 10. For a venture capitalist whose firm has had some big winners over its two decades – from consumer brands like Fitbit, Ring, and Peloton, to enterprise software makers HashiCorp and Duo Security – that’s more than armchair theorizing; it’s a thesis on which True Ventures is actively betting. True hasn’t gotten this far by following the crowd. The Bay Area firm has largely operated under the radar despite managing roughly $6 billion across…
