Building community for EECS postdocs
Postdoctoral scholars in electrical engineering and computer science gain new perspectives as Postdoc6 comes full cycle.
Microsystems Technology Laboratories
Radio chip for the “Internet of things”
Circuit that reduces power leakage when transmitters are idle could greatly extend battery life.
New fibers can deliver many simultaneous stimuli
Implanted into the brain or spinal column, they can transmit drugs, light, and electrical signals.
Vivienne Sze receives DARPA 2014 Young Faculty Award
Award honors work on real-time energy-efficient visual data processing for portable media, which will impact elderly-assistance and advanced driver-assistance systems.
New law for superconductors
Mathematical description of relationship between thickness, temperature, and resistivity could spur advances.
Superconducting circuits, simplified
New circuit design could unlock the power of experimental superconducting computer chips.
Fast, cheap nanomanufacturing
Arrays of tiny conical tips that eject ionized materials could fabricate nanoscale devices cheaply.
Mass spectrometry in your hand
Electrospray arrays can dramatically downsize systems and costs for onsite chemical analysis — and many other applications.
A leap forward in X-ray technology
New system could provide detailed images — even of soft tissue — from a lightweight, portable device.
David Perreault is appointed EECS associate department head
Munther Dahleh is appointed as acting director of ESD and new organization with focus on socio-technical systems, information and decision systems and statistics.
Jesús del Alamo named director of the Microsystems Technology Laboratories
A faculty member since 1988, del Alamo replaces Vladimir Bulović, who will co-lead the MIT Innovation Initiative.
