- 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
- Clip Financial Times New tools aim for nuanced analysis of academic . . .
Financial Times reporter Seb Murray highlights a new paper by Prof Roberto Rigobon and Research Scientist Florian Berg that explores why different ESG ratings can paint different pictures of the same company, finding that “measurement differences between rating agencies are the main source of divergence ” Murray notes that “by exposing these inconsistencies, the research highlights the

- Math research team maps E8 - MIT News
The E 8 calculation is part of an ambitious project sponsored by AIM and the National Science Foundation known as the Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations The goal of the Atlas project is to determine the unitary representations-roughly speaking, symmetries of a quantum mechanical system-of all the Lie groups (E 8 is the largest of the
- 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
- Scientists discover potential new targets for Alzheimer’s drugs
Using a computational strategy that allows them to combine information from many large datasets, MIT researchers have identified several new potential targets for Alzheimer’s disease
- Imaging technique removes the effect of water in underwater scenes . . .
In recent years, researchers have developed color-correcting tools that aim to reproduce the true colors in the ocean These efforts involved adapting tools that were developed originally for environments out of water, for instance to reveal the true color of features in foggy conditions
- Prank research paper makes the grade - MIT News
"Our aim here is to maximize amusement, rather than coherence," say the three on their web site They were so amused when the paper was accepted that they told their story on the web, asking people for donations to help them attend the conference in Orlando, Fla , July 10-13 to present the "Rooter" paper
