A new computational technique could make it easier to engineer useful proteins
MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.
Most work is new work, long-term study of U.S. census data shows
The majority of U.S. jobs are in occupations that have emerged since 1940, MIT research finds — telling us much about the ways jobs are created and lost.
Does technology help or hurt employment?
Combing through 35,000 job categories in U.S. census data, economists found a new way to quantify technology’s effects on job loss and creation.
