With the weather forecast calling for rain every day and undergraduates facing their final exams this week, one MIT student organization has the antidote for academic- or weather-induced stress: hot chocolate.
The MIT Laboratory for Chocolate Science, a student club, is setting up shop in front of the Stratton Student Center at lunchtime every day to offer free, homemade (or, rather, lab-made) hot chocolate to passersby.

Cheap, color, holographic video
A practical new approach to holographic video could also enable 2-D displays with higher resolution and lower power consumption.
