A new study shows public views on data privacy vary according to how the data are used, who benefits, and other conditions.

The system will support US Army missions.

A selection of key moments in MIT Alumni Association (MITAA) history marks 150 years of working to “further the well-being of the Institute and its graduates by increasing the interest of members in the school and in each other.”

MIT Sloan’s Nelson Repenning, a professor of system dynamics, and Don Kieffer, a senior lecturer, discuss how spring-cleaning strategies can be applied to organizing work, from handling emails and meeting requests to tackling new assignments. “First, most people take on too many tasks at once and start those tasks before they are ready,” says Repenning. “We would never let a surgeon do three procedures at once or start operating before all the equipment and people were in place, but knowledge workers do this every day.”

MIT researchers developed a superconducting circuit that can increase the speed of quantum processing. “This device is a superconducting circuit designed to produce extremely strong nonlinear interactions between particles of light (photons) and matter (qubits). This breakthrough could make operations up to 10 times faster, bringing fault-tolerant, real-world quantum computing a major step closer.”
