MIT Deshpande Center announces fall 2011 research grants
Eight research teams receive $668,000 to develop new technological innovations
Department
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
15 MIT students named Siebel Scholars
Graduate students in computer science, bioengineering and business honored.
An oracle for object-oriented programmers
By automatically cataloging connections between software 'objects,' a new system orients programmers joining large software projects in midstream.
Mimicking cells with transistors
Analog — rather than digital — circuits could enable models of biological systems that are more efficient, more accurate and easier to build.
Smarter robot arms
A combination of two algorithms developed at MIT allows autonomous robots to execute tasks much more efficiently — and move more predictably.
Five from MIT win NIH grants
Grants support biomedical research that will ‘challenge the status quo’ with risk-taking, innovative ideas.
‘I speak MISTI’
MIT program sends students abroad for experiences tailor-made for their academic and professional interests.
Building chips from collapsing nanopillars
By turning a common problem in chip manufacture into an advantage, MIT researchers produce structures only 30 atoms wide.
Movies of electrons
Lasers that emit pulses lasting a quintillionth of a second could characterize the behavior of individual electrons during chemical reactions.
After almost 20 years, math problem falls
MIT researchers’ answer to a major question in the field of optimization brings disappointing news — but there’s a silver lining.
