“Using diamond dust and laser light to control atomic spin, Ashok Ajoy PhD ‘16 pursues alternatives to costly conventional imaging technologies. Listening to Ashok Ajoy PhD ‘16 talk about his work, it’s easy to forget he’s a physicist …
“Algorithm provides networks with the most current information available while avoiding data congestion. For wireless networks that share time-sensitive information on the fly, it’s not enough to transmit data quickly. That data also need to be fresh. Consider the …
“With novel system, data scientists can analyze massive networks without the need for power-hungry servers. In data-science parlance, graphs are structures of nodes and connecting lines that are used to map scores of complex data relationships. Analyzing graphs is useful …
“Reducing the wavelength of light could allow it to be absorbed or emitted by a semiconductor, study suggests. A new way of enhancing the interactions between light and matter, developed by researchers at MIT and Israel’s Technion, could someday …
“New technology could enable remote control of drug delivery, sensing, and other medical applications. MIT researchers, working with scientists from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, have developed a new way to power and communicate with devices implanted deep within the …
“BMW and MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab collaborate to design the first printed inflatable material. Self-Assembly Lab Team: Bjorn Sparrman, Shokofeh Darbari, Rami Rustom, Maggie Hughes, Schendy Kernizan, Jared Laucks, Skylar Tibbits BMW Team: Sophie Richter, Akos Stegmar The BMW Design …
“Compression therapy is a standard form of treatment for patients who suffer from venous ulcers and other conditions in which veins struggle to return blood from the lower extremities. Compression stockings and bandages, wrapped tightly around the affected limb, can …
“New materials, heated under high magnetic fields, could produce record levels of energy, model shows. Imagine being able to power your car partly from the heat that its engine gives off. Or what if you could get a portion of …
“Ultra-low-power sensors carrying genetically engineered bacteria can detect gastric bleeding. MIT researchers have built an ingestible sensor equipped with genetically engineered bacteria that can diagnose bleeding in the stomach or other gastrointestinal problems. This “bacteria-on-a-chip” approach combines sensors made from …
“Researchers design 3-D-printed, driverless boats that can provide transport and self-assemble into other floating structures. The future of transportation in waterway-rich cities such as Amsterdam, Bangkok, and Venice — where canals run alongside and under bustling streets and bridges — may include …
