Peeling stickers may lead way to stretchable electronicsA study of stickers peeling from windows could lead to a new way to precisely control the fabrication of stretchable electronics, according to a team of researchers including one at MIT. June 15, 2009 Mathematicians take aim at 'phantom' traffic jamsA team of MIT mathematicians has developed a model that describes how "phantom jams" -- traffic jams with no apparent cause -- can appear, which could help road designers minimize the odds of their formation. June 9, 2009 Mathematics awardsAwards given in MIT Mathematics for the academic year 2008-2009. June 3, 2009 Eight from MIT elected to AAASEight members of the MIT community are among the 210 new Fellows and 19 new Foreign Honorary Members recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. April 20, 2009 Two from MIT in top 5 at Putnam math contestTwo MIT students placed in the top five in the prestigious William Lowell Putnam intercollegiate mathematics competition for 2008. April 2, 2009 Chaos on a 'fluid trampoline'A water drop placed on a soap film that vibrates up and down may bounce as if on a trampoline -- but it's much more than that, according to MIT mathematicians who say the "fluid trampoline" is the simplest fluid example of chaos theory ever explored. December 22, 2008 Kenneth Hoffman, former math department head, 77Former Department of Mathematics Head Kenneth Hoffman, who spent more than 40 years on MIT's faculty and made significant contributions to U.S. education and science policy, died Sept. 29 following a heart attack. He was 77. October 1, 2008 MIT solves fluid mechanics problemIn work that could lead to ways of controlling aerodynamic separation effect, with potential impacts on fuel efficiency, MIT scientists and colleagues have reported new mathematical and experimental work for predicting where that aerodynamic separation will occur.
