We’ve gotten some great tips from folks to help you think about how to make your videos better. Take a look at what people are saying: Lack of high-quality audio in informal recording – this can be easily addressed by using a lavalier (clip-on) microphone – makes all the difference if people can hear what’s Update on Fair Use The much-anticipated Code of Best Practices for Fair use in Academic and Research Libraries was released today and is available at: http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/code-of-best-practices-fair-use. pdf The MIT Libraries participated in the focus groups leading up to the creation of this document. This code joins a group of successful best practices in fair use documents coordinated by Peter Jaszi MIT TechTV Integrated with the MIT Touchstone Sytem on Wed. July 6th, 2011 We are pleased to announce that MIT TechTV was integrated with the MIT Touchstone system on Wednesday, July 6th, 2011.

How Far Can a Shirt See: The Birth of a Revolution in Fibers and Fabrics
Webpage Provided Desc:
Fibers and fabrics are among the earliest forms of human expression; these materials shield us from the environment and play an important role in defining who we are. Surprisingly, in sharp contrast to other areas of our existence, fibers have remained practically unchanged for thousands of years. Can fibers become highly functional objects similar to computers and smartphones? Can they see, hear, sense, and communicate? Our research focuses on extending the frontiers of fiber materials from optical transmission to encompass electronic and even acoustic properties. Central to our approach is the combination of a multiplicity of disparate solid state materials, arranged in elaborate macroscopic architectures which are thermally drawn into kilometer long fibers with internal features down to 10 nanometers. Two complementary approaches towards realizing sophisticated functions are explored: on the single-fiber level, the integration of a multiplicity of functional components into one fiber, and on the multiple-fiber level, the assembly of large-scale fiber arrays and fabrics. We are in the midst of changing the way we think of fibers and fabrics forever. The first steps in implementing this new vision for fibers have already occurred. The most important one involved the creation of the first multimaterial fiber for precision surgical applications. These fibers transmit a wavelength of light which could never be sent through a fiber. In doing so, they enable surgeons to remove tumors while minimizing collateral damage to adjacent healthy tissue. Approximately 50,000 people have been treated thus far with this technology for removal of tumors from the brain, airways, hearing restoration and the treatment of endometriosis. 1.
