🏛️It has been 80 years since RLE was founded by Dr. Julius Adams Stratton!

The author of one of the most influential textbooks in electromagnetic theory, Professor Stratton was one of the first staff members of the MIT Radiation Laboratory.

In addition to founding the Research Laboratory of Electronics in 1946, he served as the 11th president of MIT from 1959 to 1966, transforming the school into a top-tier research university🔬

His impact continues to inspire a new generation of thinkers, pushing the boundaries of what is possible💫

📡 What if wireless signals could compute?

Researchers at RLE introduce WISE, a new architecture that enables machine learning directly at radio frequency.

By rethinking how edge devices access and process models, WISE achieves over 10× greater energy efficiency compared to traditional digital computing.

Built in 1916. Still building the future 🏛

The Great Dome rose from scaffolding and steel, a foundation for generations of discovery!

Today at RLE, that spirit continues. We advance foundational science at the intersection of physics, computation, and engineering — shaping technologies that will define what comes next.

Innovation has always had a home here.

🚀 Doubling LLM training speed without losing accuracy!

Researchers at MIT and collaborators have developed a new system called Taming the Long Tail (TLT) that leverages idle computing time to accelerate reasoning model training by up to 2× while preserving performance.

By adaptively training a lightweight “drafter” model during reinforcement learning, the system reduces bottlenecks and improves energy efficiency. This is a major step toward more sustainable AI.

Prof. Luis Fernando Velásquez-García and MIT researchers demonstrate rapid multi material 3D printing of electric machines! ⚙️

MIT researchers have developed a multi material extrusion platform capable of fabricating a fully functional electric linear motor in approximately three hours, integrating conductive and magnetic materials within a single process.

This advance marks an important step toward scalable, onsite manufacturing of complex electromechanical systems 🧠🔬

What if your brain starts “sleeping” before you do? 🧠

New research led by Laura Lewis at RLE reveals that during sleep deprivation, the brain shifts into brief internal maintenance states — moments that trade attention for essential cleanup.

Published in Nature Neuroscience and featured in The Wall Street Journal, the findings offer new insight into why focus falters, and why sleep is biologically non-negotiable.

Sleep isn’t passive. It’s protection.
