Reliable communication, unreliable networks
A new model of wireless networks that better represents the real world could lead to more robust communications protocols.
Researchers develop new method for understanding network connections
Technique could be applied to the study of disease, social networks and other diverse fields.
Two MIT faculty members named Simons Investigators
Senthil Todadri and Piotr Indyk are among 13 mathematicians and scientists selected.
The brains behind research on the brain
Mehmet Fatih Yanik develops tools to answer some of the central questions in neuroscience.
In it for the long run
When Millie Dresselhaus won the prestigious Kavli Award last year, she put her money where her career has been.
CSAIL researchers develop new ways to streamline, simplify 3-D printing
New research to be presented at the 2013 SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference could transform field of 3-D printing.

Entrepreneur served on faculty for 45 years; championed long-term corporate research.
Writing programs using ordinary language
Systems that can convert written specifications into working code in a few narrow cases could be generalized to other tasks.
High potential
Tomás Palacios investigates use of ‘extreme materials’ in electronics, which could reduce energy consumption and make computers far faster.
Protecting data in the cloud
A new hardware design makes data encryption more secure by disguising cloud servers’ memory-access patterns.
New system uses low-power Wi-Fi signal to track moving humans — even behind walls
‘Wi-Vi’ is based on a concept similar to radar and sonar imaging.
