Located in Northwest China, Xi’an is one of the oldest cities in the country. It has played a central role in the region’s culture and politics since the 11th century B.C. Of the many features that make Xi’an stand out, the fortified city walls may be the most apparent to visitors. The city walls of Xi’an are some of the largest, oldest and best preserved of their kind. They were originally built under the rule of the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu……
The Awakening is an aluminum statue depicting a giant man desperately struggling to emerge from the earth. Made up of five parts, the giant’s outstretched right arm towers 17 feet above the ground and his bent left leg and knee rise above the earth, while is left hand and right foot just break the surface. His bearded face shows a look of abject terror with his mouth opening to unleash a primal scream. This striking work of art, created……

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, charts and graphs have helped communicate information about infection rates, deaths, and vaccinations. In some cases, such visualizations can encourage behaviors that reduce virus transmission, like wearing a mask. Indeed, the pandemic has been hailed as the breakthrough moment for data visualization. But new findings suggest a more complex picture. A study from MIT shows how coronavirus skeptics have marshalled data visualizations online to argue against public health orthodoxy about the benefits……
At first, Clarinda Ramos didn’t think it would be a good idea to open Biatüwi, the restaurant she now runs with her husband. Since she left her village on the banks of the Andirá River to study and work in Manaus, a city that serves as the main gateway to Brazilian Amazon, she has learned not to talk about the foods she ate as a child: the spicy ants she crumbled over fish stews, or guaraná juice, which she……
MIT researchers analyzed more than 800,000 online school reviews using advanced natural language processing, determining that reviews were largely associated with schools’ test scores — a measure that correlates closely with race and family income and tends to reinforce inequities in educational opportunity — rather than measures of student growth, which reflect how well schools actually help students learn. “Our hope is that parents who learn about our study will be highly discerning when they read school reviews and take……
For 17 years, the Microsystems Annual Research Conference (MARC) has brought together an audience of over 200 every January for a two-day exploration of research achievements. A gathering that prizes personal interactions as much academic presentations, MARC traditionally takes place in New Hampshire, where skiing, snowshoeing, and social activities intermingle with poster sessions and technical talks. So, how could the spirit of MARC be preserved during a pandemic, when coming together is not possible? This was the major challenge……
The man in the sepia photo, known as White Swan of the Crow nation, stands with a striped shirt and elaborate feathered headdress. With a hint of a smile on his face, his left hand palms a holstered pistol. Another image shows a woman of the Arapahoe nation, in a blouse richly decorated with neat rows of large, sewn-on beads. Yet another depicts Black Wezel of the Blackfoot nation, seated and sporting a Western-style suit and shirt, a round……
One of the most significant genetic risk factors for developing Alzheimer’s disease is a gene called APOE4, which is carried by almost half of all Alzheimer’s patients. A new study from MIT shows that this gene has widespread effects on brain cells’ ability to metabolize lipids and respond to stress. In studies of human brain cells and yeast cells, the researchers found that the APOE4 gene significantly disrupts brain cells’ ability to carry out their normal functions. They also……
One of the main thoroughfares of San Jose‘s downtown is the site of a whimsical, interactive light feature, the Lantern Relay. Along several blocks of San Carlos Street, several tall light poles sport six-foot lanterns, programmed to turn on at nightfall. The multi-colored lanterns are pretty enough on their own, but large buttons installed on the poles themselves invite passersby to interact with them. As it happens, all the lanterns are connected. Pressing the button on one pole will……
The Free French Memorial monument sits less than 100 meters from the summit of Lyle Hill in Greenock with a viewpoint accessible by car. During World War II, France was under Nazi occupation. However, several French troops were evacuated from the country and wanted to still contribute to the war effort. These troops were known as the Free French Forces and continued to fight against the Axis powers after the fall of France. During the war, there was a……
Niccolò Paganini was a spectacular violinist—so talented that people believed he had made a deal with the devil. Throughout his final years, Paganini’s health deteriorated, and after the casino he set up in Paris proved to be a failure, he fell into financial ruin. He soon left Paris for Marseilles, and then went onto Nice. His condition worsened and the Bishop of Nice sent him a local parish priest to perform last rites, but Paganini refused thinking it was……
Any past participant of MIT Bootcamps can tell you that the program lives up to the intensity implied by its name. But they’d also be quick to say that the military analogy extends even further — to an enduring camaraderie that tends to bind its members together for years after their experience has ended, across cohorts, industries, continents, and all walks of life. Though bootcamps shifted last year from a blended learning model to an all-virtual one, the structured,……
Climate action is among the top priorities for the Institute and one that demands global solutions. With Denmark’s reputation as a leader in sustainable thinking, finding a way to bring the two together presented a natural synergy for the MIT-Denmark program. Part of MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI), MIT-Denmark connects students and faculty with institutions and industry in Denmark to advance critical research, build new technologies, and create innovative partnerships. Despite the recent challenges due to pandemic-imposed……
