Rice University engineering students experience engineering leadership — MIT style
Recapping the Gordon-MIT ELP's visit to the Rice Center for Engineering Leadership (RCEL)
What can logistics do for you?
In a new book, an MIT professor argues that investment in global transportation hubs can spur a ‘feedback loop’ of regional growth.
Making ‘nanospinning’ practical
Nanofibers have a dizzying range of possible applications, but they’ve been prohibitively expensive to make. MIT researchers hope to change that.
New injectable gels toughen up after entering the body
These more durable gels could find applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
Department snapshot: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
EECS places renewed emphasis on interdisciplinary research, partnerships with alumni and industry, and experiential learning.
Controlling heat flow through a nanostructure
MIT researchers find that heat moving in materials called superlattices behaves like waves; finding could enable better thermoelectrics.
