Black Cat Alley in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

March 29, 2021

Hidden behind the famous Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee is a dark alley that was once nothing more than an urban shortcut. That was until 2016, when a group of local artists turned the alley into a showcase of street art. The alley now features artwork from local and visiting artists. Black Cat Alley contains over 25 murals, a well-maintained rain garden, and a nonstop rotation of tags, stickers, and throw-ups. The transformation of such a central pedestrian location on……

Powering the energy transition with better storage

March 29, 2021

“The overall question for me is how to decarbonize society in the most affordable way,” says Nestor Sepulveda SM ’16, PhD ’20. As a postdoc at MIT and a researcher with the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), he worked with a team over several years to investigate what mix of energy sources might best accomplish this goal. The group’s initial studies suggested the “need to develop energy storage technologies that can be cost-effectively deployed for much longer durations than lithium-ion……

Visa supports transaction settlement with USDC stablecoin

March 29, 2021

Payment card network Visa has announced that transactions can be settled using USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Crypto.com is the first company to test the new capability with its own Visa-branded cards. USDC is a stablecoin co-founded by Circle and Coinbase and managed the Centre consortium. As the name suggests, USDC is a cryptocurrency that follows the value of USD. One USDC is always worth one USD — hence the name stablecoin. In order……

Physicists flip particle accelerator setup to gain...

March 29, 2021

Physicists at MIT and elsewhere are blasting beams of ions at clouds of protons —like throwing nuclear darts at the speed of light — to map the structure of an atom’s nucleus. The experiment is an inversion of the usual particle accelerators, which hurl electrons at atomic nuclei to probe their structures. The team used this “inverse kinematics” approach to sift out the messy, quantum mechanical influences within a nucleus, to provide a clear view of a nucleus’ protons……

Method offers inexpensive imaging at the scale...

March 29, 2021

Using an ordinary light microscope, MIT engineers have devised a technique for imaging biological samples with accuracy at the scale of 10 nanometers — which should enable them to image viruses and potentially even single biomolecules, the researchers say. The new technique builds on expansion microscopy, an approach that involves embedding biological samples in a hydrogel and then expanding them before imaging them with a microscope. For the latest version of the technique, the researchers developed a new type……

'The Astronomer' in Parkes, Australia

March 29, 2021

In 2003, Canberra was hit by a horrific firestorm. The fire destroyed the Mount Stromlo Observatory, as well as its historic Yale-Columbia Refractor telescope. The telescope had been observing the stars since the 1920s and even helped with a few NASA missions. But from this tragedy came beauty. Parts of the telescope that were damaged were used to construct this magnificent sculpture known as “The Astronomer.” Constructed by scientist/artist Tim Wetherell, the sculpture is a visual nod to the telescope……

Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwickshire, England

March 29, 2021

This “Hospital” was never a medical institution. It rather uses the older definition of the term, which refers to a type of almshouse. Lord Leycester Hospital is a group of medieval timber-framed buildings on High Street in the historic city of Warwick, England. It dates back to the late 14th century, and represents one of the finest examples of medieval courtyard architecture in the United Kingdom. For the first 200 years this group of buildings was home to the city’s……

How startups can go passwordless, thanks to...

March 29, 2021

“There is no doubt that over time, people are going to rely less and less on passwords… they just don’t meet the challenge for anything you really want to secure,” said Bill Gates. That was seventeen years ago. Although passwords have lost some of their charm, they have so far survived many attempts to kill them for good. The perception of high cost and tricky implementations has stalled some smaller businesses from ditching passwords. But alternatives to passwords are……
