"MIT researchers believe they have made a breakthrough in understanding how memories are formed. They say they’ve been able to create false memories in mice — apparently making the mice think something happened that did not."

"But surprisingly, an unfair negative reaction will not spur others to dislike the article. Instead, a thumbs-down view will soon be counteracted by thumbs up from other readers."

"The very first bioprinters weren’t expensive or fancy. They resembled cheap desktop printers because, in fact, that’s what they were."

"Now Seth Lloyd, a researcher at MIT, has demonstrated that by exploiting the quirks of quantum physics, it is possible to build an encryption machine that is truly unbreakable."

"So, a flying suit is not part of the plan. But the first challenge is to come up with stronger body armor so a commando can survive once he kicks in a door."

"[A]llow us to introduce you to the future, where our rulers will be crazy interactive devices that measure the angles on hand-drawn triangles and allow us to create our own Plinko games on the backs of receipts."

“They will transform to optimize performance under different conditions and be more versatile than ever, revolutionizing the way we ship.”

“In a perverted twist of fate, cancer cells take advantage of this incredibly ancient survival strategy— the heat shock response— to help them survive despite the best efforts of our own natural defenses, and sophisticated therapeutics, to kill them."

“If mice had Hollywood, this would be ‘Inception’ for them."

"Over the last couple of decades, engineers have improved TCP's congestion control algorithms, leading to the creation of a number of different competing versions of the protocol, including Compound TCP, NewReno, BIC and TCP Cubic."

“It used to be that you had a fight, and it was over, and you moved on.”

"Suppose we landed on Mars and we saw a skyscraper, a huge building 10 stories high or something."

"While this is a positive start, it is very early in the multi-stepped process to characterize the performance of the reaction wheels and to determine if one could return to operation."

"Fracking, the same technology used to drill for natural gas, may provide an economical way to get at that geothermal energy."
