Droplet and StackAR bring physical interface to virtual experiences, communicate through light
Light-based communication seems to wind throughout the MIT Media Lab -- it is a universal language, after all, since many devices output light, be it with a dedicated LED or a standard LCD, and have the capacity to view and interpret it. One such device, coined Droplet, essentially redirects light from one source to another, while also serving as a physical interface for tablet-based tasks. Rob ...

A Water Droplet and a Space Station Are the Ultimate Way To Visualize Sound [Video
# science You might think the trippy animated visualizations in your media player are the best way to see your music. But astronaut Don Pettit has found a better way?and all it requires is a small set of speakers, a blob of water, and a space station 250 miles above the Earth. More »

Experimental adaptation of an influenza H5 HA confers respiratory droplet transmission to a reassortant H5 HA/H1N1 ..
Highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza A viruses occasionally infect humans, but currently do not transmit efficiently among humans. The viral haemagglutinin (HA) protein is a known host-range determinant as it mediates virus binding to host-specific cellular receptors. Here we assess the molecular changes in HA that would allow a virus possessing subtype H5 HA to be transmissible among mammals ...
