Harnessing the Earth, the atom and the leaf
There are many sources that can make a contribution to our energy supply, but likely not at a major scale in the near future.
Shining brightly
Vast amounts of solar energy radiate to the Earth constantly, but tapping that energy cost-effectively remains a challenge.
Connecting neurons to fix the brain
New technology helps scientists discover drugs to strengthen synapses.
Analysis of 29 mammals reveals genomic ‘dark matter’
Genomic comparison offers a new map for charting human disease and biology.
Computer science gives a boost to heart health
New technique searches for subtle indicators of risk hidden in a patient’s EKG.
MIT Deshpande Center announces fall 2011 research grants
Eight research teams receive $668,000 to develop new technological innovations

An oracle for object-oriented programmers
By automatically cataloging connections between software 'objects,' a new system orients programmers joining large software projects in midstream.
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.
