MIT Senior Technical Instructor Dick Perdichizzi prepares a lifesize model of a prehistoric four-winged bird-like creature for testing in Aero-Astro's Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel. The model is based on fossils discovered in China. Aerodynamicists and paleontologists from the United States and China, along with a crew from the PBS Nova program, descended on the MIT facility last summer, experimenting with the articulated model to see if and how it might have flown. The resulting program, 'The Four-Winged Dinosaur' first aired Feb 26. Photo / William Litant
A pioneer in solid-state ionics and materials science education, Wuensch is remembered for his thoughtful scholarship and grace in teaching and mentoring.
Surprising “photomolecular effect” discovered by MIT researchers could affect calculations of climate change and may lead to improved desalination and drying processes.
