LIGO and Virgo Announce Four New Gravitational-Wave Detections
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 12, 2018 — The National Science Foundation’s LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) and the European-based Virgo gravitational-wave detector have detected four new black hole merger events. The findings were presented at the Gravitational Wave Physics and Astronomy Workshop in College Park, Md., Dec. 1, 2018. The LIGO and Virgo collaborations have now detected gravitational waves from 10 stellar-mass binary black hole mergers and one merger of neutron stars.
Study Confirms Light-Induced Phase Changes Happen Differently, Results Could Be Used in Optoelectronics
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 20, 2018 — New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) demonstrates that light-generated phase changes occur differently than phase changes triggered by temperature. While optically induced phase changes have been observed before, the...

Harvard, MIT Researchers Use Google Maps to Study Gentrification, Urban Planning
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 24, 2017 — Researchers from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have authored a study that uses computer vision algorithms to examine millions of Google Street View images in an effort to measure whether and how urban areas are...
SWIR Camera From Princeton Instruments Selected for MIT Research
TRENTON, N.J., June 22, 2017 — The NIRvana camera from Princeton Instruments was employed in quantum dot evaluation by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). From high-speed intravital imaging for angiography in a brain tumor model to high resolution and...
MRSI Bonder Installed at MIT's AIM Facility
NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., April 4, 2017 — MRSI Systems, a provider of die bonding and epoxy dispensing systems, has installed its flagship MRSI-M3 Die Bonder in the American Institute of Manufacturing’s (AIM) Photonics Academy’s Education and Practice Factory at the...
A Faster Single-Pixel Camera Opens Up New Possibilities for Industrial Lensless Imaging
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 3, 2017 — Compressed sensing is a new computational technique for extracting large amounts of information from a signal. Researchers at Rice University built a camera that could produce 2-D images using only a single light sensor rather than the millions of...
Cissé Awarded Young Fluorescence Investigator Award
EDISON, N.J., March 7, 2017 — Dr. Ibrahim Cissé, an assistant professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has received Horiba Scientific’s annual Young Fluorescence Investigator Award. Award recipients receive $1000 and an invitation to...
