Mimicking cells with transistors
Analog — rather than digital — circuits could enable models of biological systems that are more efficient, more accurate and easier to build.
Building chips from collapsing nanopillars
By turning a common problem in chip manufacture into an advantage, MIT researchers produce structures only 30 atoms wide.
Movies of electrons
Lasers that emit pulses lasting a quintillionth of a second could characterize the behavior of individual electrons during chemical reactions.
Perfect communication with imperfect chips
Error-correcting codes discovered at MIT can still guarantee reliable communication, even in cellphones with failure-prone low-power chips.
The future of chip manufacturing
MIT researchers show how to make e-beam lithography, commonly used to prototype computer chips, more practical as a mass-production technique.
MIT faculty selected to attend NAE's Frontiers of Engineering
Two from CEE and one from EECS to participate in symposium for young engineering innovators.
Long live the qubit!
The power of quantum computers depends on keeping them in a fragile quantum-mechanical state — which researchers have found a new way to extend.
Spinning new materials in a thread
New technique could enable creation of a variety of fiber-based electronic and photonic devices.

Turning windows into powerplants
New technology from MIT could enable a building’s windows to generate power, without blocking the view.
Secure, synchronized, social TV
A technique called network coding could protect users’ privacy and providers’ content while making communications networks more efficient.
Tuning in to a new hearing mechanism
Findings from MIT scientists could lead to hearing aids that mimic the ear’s ability to focus on particular frequencies.
