Inside @MIT’s most iconic hallway — the Infinite Corridor — is a lesser known installation: a scaled down model of the solar system. 🪐

Watch to learn how this model uses perspective and scale to fit the cosmos into a hallway, and how far away the next star system would be based on the same scale.

You've memorized pi as 3.14. But the other missing digits? They matter more than you think.

Over a century ago, self-taught mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan developed a formula that approximates pi with extraordinary speed. MIT physics lecturer Alex Shvonski breaks down why it still amazes mathematicians today.

25 years ago, @MIT opened its curriculum to the world. 🌍

Today, @MITOCW has reached 500M+ learners, inspired a global open education movement, and made 2,500+ courses freely available online.

Now, with the launch of MIT Learn — the Institute's hub for lifelong learning — and Open Learning's goal of reaching 1 billion learners in the next decade, the next chapter of open education is already taking shape.

AI fluency ≠ knowing how to use ChatGPT.

Universal AI was built for non-technical learners who want to understand ALL of AI — predictive, prescriptive, multimodal, generative, and beyond.

The first course is free worldwide. See if it's for you: https://t.co/b8s7MEnnud

Stuck on a problem? Try explaining it to a rubber duck.

Rubber ducky debugging is a real technique programmers use to catch their own mistakes. Walk through the problem step by step, skip nothing, and you'll find the fix yourself.

[Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) @MIT]

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

One of the main goals for microbiologists in an experiment is to connect a cell genotype with a specific phenotype. To do this, they need to start with a single cell.

@MITBiology researcher Yashna Thepetta explains how you get there, through a process called "streaking for singles."

3 things engineers at @mit consider before tackling a global development problem:

1️⃣ Real merit — will it affect a lot of people?
2️⃣ Technical merit — is this actually an engineering problem?
3️⃣ Value — who will fund, disseminate, and adopt it?
