(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Gravitational waves are predicted to exist by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. The waves interact extremely weakly with the surrounding universe so only the most massive and violent events such as supernovae and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Very Flexible Aircraft (VFA) corresponds to an aerial platform whose flight dynamics critically depends on its flexible wing shape, and has been investigated as a potential solution to generate high-altitude low-endurance ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, an innovative architecture for real-time adaptive and cooperative control of autonomous sensor platforms in a marine sensor network is described in the context of the autonomous oceanographic network scenario. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis investigates the use of three classes advanced materials for promoting dropwise condensation: 1. robust hydrophobic functionalizations 2. superhydrophobic textures 3. lubricant-imbibed textures We first define ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The outboard bearings that support shafts in naval ships and submarines present unique challenges to designers, shipbuilders, and operators. Such bearings must operate continuously and reliably in demanding environments ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Autonomous marine vehicles are increasingly used in clusters for an array of oceanographic tasks. The effectiveness of this collaboration is often limited by communications: throughput, latency, and ease of reconfiguration. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Oil is a widespread pollutant from oil spills to industrial oily wastewater in the oil and gas, metalworking, textile and paper, food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. A wastewater of particular concern ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The advent of metamaterials has introduced new ways to manipulate how electromagnetic waves reflect, refract and radiate in systems where the range of available material properties now includes negative permittivity, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Hydrophobic membranes are the central component of membrane distillation (MD) desalination systems. Optimizing their design is crucial for efficient desalination. There are many requirements on MD membranes. These include ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The respiratory regulatory system is one of the most extensively studied homeostatic systems in the body. Despite its deceptively mundane physiological function, the mechanism underlying the robust control of the motor act ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Capture and isolation of flowing cells from body fluids such as peripheral blood, bone marrow or pleural effusion has enormous implications in diagnosis, disease monitoring, and drug testing. However, in many situations ...
