Tag: MITWearable Sensors Watch Workers Sensors that track social behavior highlight the benefits of face-to-face interaction. Fleets of robotic aircraft could improve weather forecasts. A new way to print quantum dots could lead to brighter, more power-efficient displays. New designs for materials that repel all liquids. Synthetic biology could yield microbes that fight cavities and produce vitamins. A smart card's RFID chip reveals the algorithms that control it. A Model for Hurricane Evacuation Software developed at MIT could save lives and money by improving hurricane planning. Experts say disclosing bugs prevents security flaws from festering. A mesh networking repeater for harsh conditions. A new LIDAR system could provide more data on distant planets. A nanowire membrane that sops up oil while repelling water could be used for cleaning up oil spills. Sending descriptions of data could be more efficient than sending the data itself. The new machine will have dual touch screens--and cheaper hardware. New publications, experiments and breakthroughs in nanotechnology--and what they mean. MIT researchers have invented a microfluidic way to efficiently make particles with exquisite internal structure. |
