Cristina Parreno Alonso from the MIT Department of Architecture recently devised a new class, The Deep Time Project, which launched in Fall 2022.

Likewise, the exhibition component of the Deep Time Project is a way of giving thoughts physical form. “The Deep Time Project is about taking a step back, reframing these problems in ways that will allow us to ask the right questions.” [Carbon to Rock](https://www.labiennale.org/en/architecture/2021/emerging-communities/igneous-tectonics), shown at the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale, explores new artificial manipulations of the geological timescales of the carbon cycle, rethinking igneous rocks as a resilient material for high-carbon-capture architecture. “My project identifies a gap of imagination in deep time research,” she explains. Envisioned as a jagged plastic “rock,” the sculpture interprets the ubiquitous synthetic material as a natural phenomenon, a human-made product that far outlasts a human lifespan. A building, Parreño argues, is a “material event,” part of a process of construction and deconstruction that is shaped by the past and directly impacts the future — an impact that has become all the more apparent in the epoch of the Anthropocene, in which humans have become the dominant force influencing the physical composition and regulating systems of the planet.

The MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (MIT SHASS) is pleased to announce that 32 MIT undergraduate sophomores and juniors have been named ...

It is perhaps no surprise that a high percentage of the MIT students who receive Rhodes, Marshall, and other major scholarships and fellowships are former Burchard Scholars. The key features of these dinners are the presentations by SHASS’s faculty, on topics ranging from nuclear security to an economic view of artificial intelligence to cross-cultural histories in centuries-old manuscripts. During the course of the calendar year, the scholars also attend several cultural events in the Boston metropolitan area.

MIT's receiver architecture offers effective harmonic cancellation all in the RF domain. With the goal of making 5G New Radio (NR) communications more robust, ...

If a square LO is used, the odd harmonics in the LO signal create copies of the original signal in the baseband. While I won’t pretend that the dynamic behavior of the receiver architecture is easy to understand, its overall operation can be understood as a weighted sampling of the input signal. The overall receiver power ranges from 32 to 54 mW, ensuring that its presence in a mobile system won’t create a hefty power requirement. Especially in cases where harmonic interference is a major problem, the mixer-first harmonic rejection architecture offers clear advantages through purely analog signal cancellation and opens the door for increased spectrum usage without requiring highly selective receivers. But, with the addition of a balun to create a differential signal, these signals are easily dealt with. While filters can remove these higher-order signals, if a signal is present at the harmonic frequencies, it will interfere with the signal of interest. For a crowded spectrum or a device with multiple receivers and local oscillators, this can quickly become a problem. While this does improve the gain of the mixer, it can also create undesired effects due to harmonics. A mixer can convert a high-frequency RF signal (ω1) into a low-frequency copy using an LO signal (ω2). Image from All About Circuits’ attendance of As bands become more crowded and the number of connected devices increases, unwanted interference can quickly become a detrimental issue if not properly addressed. The mixer effectively accomplishes

Lamont “Jack” Pearley, a graduate student in the WKU folklore studies program and a collaborator with the WKU Innovation Campus, has been named the first ...

About WKU Innovation Campus: The WKU Innovation Campus is an applied research and intellectual hub that spurs innovative collaboration, promotes problem-solving and nurtures talent to elevate the economy and region. “Lamont exemplifies the creative spirit of our Collaborative SmartSpace,” said WKU Innovation Campus CEO Buddy Steen. Thanks to those connections, Pearley is now sharing folk stories with audiences around the globe, and helping link communities with the resources they need. “The MIT OpenDocLab has been a true partner in helping us think through the future of Kentucky’s economy,” said AccelerateKY board president Rusty Justice. The MIT OpenDocLab provides Pearley access to a community of creators working on non-traditional methods of documenting stories, as well as a focus on co-creation methodologies of working with communities to explore their stories. “The intersection of technology and storytelling provides an abundance of transformative opportunities to progress our society,” said WKU Potter College Dean Dr.

One of the earliest stages in the process of identifying a potential new drug is to expose cells to the compound in a lab dish and scour microscope images ...

Others are a bit further along: Recursion Pharmaceuticals, a company in Salt Lake City for which Carpenter is an advisor, has already launched five clinical trials to test drug candidates identified using a version of Cell Painting. Her team worked with Carpenter’s to validate the compounds in wet-lab tests, and the two scientists are launching a company to further develop the most promising candidates. Beyond ease of use, the power of Cell Painting lies in the sheer volume of data that comes from one experiment. The strategy is tedious and time-consuming, and it often fails because researchers aren’t sure what to look for or where in the cell to look. This motto drives a lab at Harvard and MIT’s Broad Institute, where researchers have developed a method for generating a treasure trove of information on a cell’s inner workings that they can sift for years to come. The method, known as Cell Painting, impressed scientists at several pharmaceutical companies—so much that they launched a consortium and pooled resources, using the approach to create a massive data set that they began releasing to the public in November.

The second QSEC Annual Research Conference (QuARC) brought together MIT student and postdoctoral researchers, staff, faculty, and industry partners for a ...

QuARC 2023 was held in conjunction with the Microsystems Annual Research Conference (MARC), which took place on Jan. I am especially grateful to the student leaders for establishing the event with such initiative and passion,” he said. The conference launched in 2022 to give members of the Quantum Science and Engineering Consortium (QSEC) an opportunity to engage with MIT students and faculty across the Institute and gain insight into their work. Oliver, the Henry Ellis Warren Professor of electrical engineering and computer science and of physics, and director of the Center for Quantum Engineering. Peter Shor, the Morss Professor of Applied Mathematics at MIT, opened the first night with a keynote talk on quantum error correction, a function that will be essential for creating workable quantum computers. “MIT has a wonderfully broad quantum community spanning research from quantum sensing to quantum networking and quantum computing.
