MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Magnetite OS and two other technologies win 2026 R&D 100 Awards

Three MIT Lincoln Laboratory technologies received 2026 R&D 100 Awards: the Magnetite operating system, which builds on the formally verified seL4 microkernel with Rust-written services to protect embedded computers from cyberattacks; the Quantum Microsystems platform, which integrates hundreds of superconductor and semiconductor chips into a single wafer-scale system; and an algorithm that removes 5G base-station interference on co-channel RF devices. Magnetite is free for government use and approved partners and is being integrated into DoW space and flight platforms.
