International Engineering Systems Symposium addresses complex, large-scale challengesA capacity audience from academia, industry and government from around the world filled MIT's Wong Auditorium for the International Engineering Systems Symposium on Monday, June 15, the first day of the three-day event. June 17, 2009 Taking the heat offMIT engineers looked to the design of a living cell as they sought ways to dissipate heat in tiny electromechanical systems. June 16, 2009 Engineers find way to slow concrete creep to a crawlMIT civil engineers have for the first time identified what causes concrete to gradually deform, decreasing its durability and shortening the lifespan of infrastructures such as bridges and nuclear waste containment vessels. June 15, 2009 Civil & Environmental Engineering awardsAwards given in MIT Civil & Environmental Engineering for the academic year 2008-2009. June 3, 2009 Small RNAs yield great amounts of data from oceanAn ingenious new method of obtaining marine microbe samples in a natural setting may make it possible finally to learn on a broad scale how microbial communities living at different ocean depths and regions respond to environmental stimuli. May 14, 2009 Back to (basics for) the future?Regulation of carbon emissions could pose a significant challenge to the way engineers design products, cities and more, but a solution may be as simple as using archaic building materials such as soil, says MIT Associate Professor John Ochsendorf. April 24, 2009 Separating the good from the badScientists at MIT and Brown University studying how marine bacteria move recently discovered that a sharp variation in water current segregates right-handed bacteria from their left-handed brethren, impelling the microbes in opposite directions. April 17, 2009 Bras eyes 'intertwined dance' of land, water, plantsIf the lesson of this year's Killian Award lecture could be told as a folk proverb, it might be this: Water changes land, land changes plant, plant changes land, land changes water.
