It's not exactly known how the human brain represents visual information, but some believe it operates like a digital camera with a really sophisticated computer, said Lavanya Sharan, a member of the perceptual science group in brain and cognitive sciences at MIT.

Picture the flow of water over a rock. At very low speeds, the water looks like a smooth sheet skimming the rock's surface. As the water rushes faster, the flow turns into turbulent, roiling whitewater that can overturn your raft.

Researches at MIT have developed a model to illustrate how a blood cell 4 times the size of a vessel is able to enter the vessel and pass through with ease. This information will help scientists better understand certain types of disease.

Nathan Ball, a mechanical-engineering graduate student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led a team that has invented a motorized pulley that will let paramedics and firefighters zip up the side of buildings sort of like Spider-Man.

Scheduled for testing next month, MIT's much-anticipated laptop has climbed in cost to $140 dollars. Yet the increased cost has allowed for some improved features such as an 8" sun readable display with an astounding 1200x1900 resolution.

Yes, Virginia, Pluto is a planet. And it's about to be joined by several more, thanks to a new definition of the word "planet" announced today by world astronomers, including Richard Binzel, an MIT professor of planetary science.

A team from MIT, US, has managed to focus 15 laser beams into a 180 nm spot without using a lens. Known as "coherent superposition" the technique could be ideal x-ray, ultraviolet and infrared regions of the spectrum, where focusing with a lens can be difficult or even impossible.

The basic framework of the house would be created using a gardening method known as pleaching, in which young trees are woven together into a shape such as an archway, lattice, or screen and then maintain that form over the years. As the framework matured, the home grower would weave a dense layer of protective vines onto the exterior walls.
