Andrea Bocelli and MIT showcase research advancements this Friday
Andrea Bocelli will attend workshops at MIT featuring research on vision impairment and social impact programs funded by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and conducted at MIT.
Faculty highlight: Katharina Ribbeck
Dissecting the inner workings of the mucus barrier could yield better drugs, prevent disease
A leap forward in X-ray technology
New system could provide detailed images — even of soft tissue — from a lightweight, portable device.
3-D images, with only one photon per pixel
New scheme could enable laser rangefinders to infer depth from a hundredth as much light — and to produce images from only one nine-hundredth the light.
Pills of the future: nanoparticles
Researchers design drug-carrying nanoparticles that can be taken orally
David Perreault is appointed EECS associate department head
Munther Dahleh is appointed as acting director of ESD and new organization with focus on socio-technical systems, information and decision systems and statistics.
Dahleh appointed to new roles
Leading ESD and planning for a potential MIT-wide effort in the areas of socio-technical systems, information and decision systems, and statistics.
Five from MIT named AAAS fellows
The professors were recognized by their peers for their efforts to advance science or its applications.
A physicist, an athlete, and an engineer
MIT senior Margo Batie plays hard on the rugby field and works hard in the physics lab.
Creating synthetic antibodies
Synthetic polymers coating a nanoparticle surface can recognize specific molecules just like an antibody.
Catalyst for business
Startup Rive Technology is commercializing an MIT-developed invention that improves catalysts used in oil refining, leading to greater yields.
Droplets break a theoretical time barrier on bouncing
MIT research could aid ice prevention, wing efficiency, and more.
Study finds more spending on fire suppression may lead to bigger fires
Researchers emphasize balancing fire suppression with prevention measures.
Magnetic nanoparticles could aid heat dissipation
Particles suspended in cooling water could prevent hotspots in nuclear plant cooling systems and electronics.
Finding ‘rising stars’ in EECS
MIT-hosted conference encourages the top women studying electrical engineering and computer science nationwide to become professors.
