A faster Internet — designed by computers?
Computer-designed algorithms for controlling network congestion yield transmission rates two to three times as high as those designed by humans.
New way to target an old foe: malaria
Engineered liver tissue developed at MIT could help scientists test new drugs and vaccines.
Albert Meyer named EECS Undergraduate Officer
Succeeds Dennis M. Freeman, who was recently selected as the MIT Dean for Undergraduate Education
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.
A step closer to artificial livers
Researchers identify compounds that help liver cells grow outside the body.
An electrical switch for magnetism
MIT researchers develop a new approach to controlling the motion of magnetic domains; work could lead to low-power computer memory.
Making quantum encryption practical
An MIT team that proposed a new, more-practical scheme for using quantum physics to secure data transmission has now demonstrated it experimentally.
First ‘SuperUROPs’ cap off inaugural year
EECS program immerses undergraduates in advanced research projects.
MIT conference showcases undergraduate research
EECScon 2013 marks MIT’s first research conference geared toward engineering undergraduates
