“Life is short, so aim high” - MIT News Caption: “I’d say life is short, so aim high,” Jaramillo says “As scientists and engineers that means tackling the hard problems because the easy ones have been solved and, besides, there’s little satisfaction in them ”
Capturing cell growth in 3-D - MIT News MIT spinout AIM Biotech has developed a microfluidics device that lets researchers co-culture multiple cell types in a 3-D hydrogel environment that mimics natural tissue, to more accurately study biological processes, such as cancer metastasis, and better capture how cancer cells react to chemotherapy agents
Introducing the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium The MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium is a collaboration between MIT, founding member companies, and researchers across disciplines who aim to develop open-source generative AI solutions, accelerating innovations in education, research, and industry
Scientists discover potential new targets for Alzheimer’s drugs In this case, the aim was to try to link the genes identified in the fruit fly screen with specific processes and cellular pathways that might contribute to neurodegeneration To do that, the researchers combined the fruit fly data with several other datasets, including genomic data from postmortem tissue of Alzheimer’s patients
Consortium including MIT awarded $110M national grant to promote . . . MIT will also host AIM Photonics’ program in education and workforce development, which Kimerling will direct This will include developing educational materials — ranging from K-12 through continuing education — to prepare future employees for this emerging industry, including teaching on the design of integrated photonic devices
Artificial intelligence enhances air mobility planning Other tools under development aim to automatically add users to chat conversations deemed relevant to their expertise, predict the amount of ground time needed to unload specific types of cargo from aircraft, and summarize key processes from regulatory documents as a guide to operators as they develop mission plans
Explained: Carbon credits - MIT News Similarly, projects that aim to capture carbon dioxide emissions and inject them into the ground are sometimes used to justify increasing the production of petroleum or natural gas, negating the intended climate mitigation of the process
Ping pong bot returns shots with high-speed precision The group is using the robot to test various dynamic maneuvers, including navigating uneven and varying terrain as well as jumping, running, and doing backflips, with the aim of one day deploying such robots for search-and-rescue operations
How to aim a fire extinguisher - MIT News The technique is called PASS: Pull the pin; Aim at the base of the fire; Squeeze the lever slowly; Sweep from side to side The test fire was produced by a BullEx box, which has sensors to determine where the trainee is aiming and to vary the flames in response, providing a realistic and safe training experience
