Direct observation of the superfluid phase transition in ultracold Fermi gases. The images show the excess atoms (the 'single men') in the gas cloud that are not involved in the superfluid pairing. As the superfluid forms in the center, the excess atoms have to give way and start forming a shell around it.

Students help construct a prototype in April 2005 of one of the 500 'tiles' that will make up a new telescope in Australia. Each tile consists of 16 antennas. From left are Jamie Stevens, a graduate student at the University of Melbourne, now at University of Tasmania, and Judd Bowman, a graduate student in physics at MIT.

A new sensor developed at MIT monitorsÂ when cultured neuroblastoma cells (green)Â are producing nitric oxide (NO). A copper complex of a fluorescein derivative (formula on lower left) reacts with NO and produces a nitrosated fluorescein (formula on upper right), which causes the cells to glow brightly under the fluorescent microscope.
