When should data scientists try a new...

January 27, 2023

If a scientist wanted to forecast ocean currents to understand how pollution travels after an oil spill, she could use a common approach that looks at currents traveling between 10 and 200 kilometers. Or, she could choose a newer model that also includes shorter currents. This might be more accurate, but it could also require learning new software or running new computational experiments. How to know if it will be worth the time, cost, and effort to use the……

Targeting cancer with a multidrug nanoparticle

January 26, 2023

Treating cancer with combinations of drugs can be more effective than using a single drug. However, figuring out the optimal combination of drugs, and making sure that all of the drugs reach the right place, can be challenging. To help address those challenges, MIT chemists have designed a bottlebrush-shaped nanoparticle that can be loaded with multiple drugs, in ratios that can be easily controlled. Using these particles, the researchers were able to calculate and then deliver the optimal ratio……

HONOLULU (AP) — On Ian Schweitzer’s first morning of freedom Wednesday, he woke up in a hotel room, looked over the balcony at the ocean and took in the beauty of the island he had been away from for over 20 years while imprisoned for a 1991 killing and rape he has always maintained he didn’t commit. In an interview with The Associated Press from the Big Island, he reflected on a range of emotions, from his faith in…

Excerpts from recent editorials in the United States and abroad: Jan. 23 The Washington Post on gun violence in the United States Gun violence is so regular an occurrence in the United States that no incident, however tragic, comes as a surprise. But events in recent days deserve special attention all the same, as they underscore a core truth about responding to gun violence: changing just one or two rules would not be enough.

Cheapside Street Fire Memorial in Glasgow, Scotland

January 25, 2023

Glasgow was once a major port city, with many warehouses lining the waterfront, many storing the highly flammable products of the Scottish whisky industry. By the 1950s, many of these warehouses had fallen into disrepair. Then on March 28, 1960, just after seven in the evening, fire crews were called in to put out an immense blaze in a warehouse that had been storing 21,000 barrels of whisky and 30,000 gallons of rum. Whisky-fuelled explosions rocked the building. Flames shoot……

MIT Gas Turbine Laboratory prepares to jet...

January 25, 2023

In 1941, the National Academy of Sciences appointed a committee to assess the use of gas turbine engines — which use heat released during fuel combustion to produce thrust for propulsion — in aviation. The group of luminaries concluded that due to the temperature limitations of existing materials, gas turbines did not have much of a future in propelling airplanes. However, “Unknown to the committee, the first jet engine was already successfully run in Germany in 1940: the Junkers……
