Coolest University Tech Lab Projects in the Works

Posted by timothy on from the tuition-begets-intuition dept.

NW writes "While universities like MIT, Berkeley and CMU don't tend to shout as loudly about their latest tech innovations as do Google, Cisco and other big vendors, their results are no less impressive in what they could mean for faster, more secure and more useful networks, computers, etc. Here's a good roundup of 25 of them, from studies on putting T-Rays to use in computers to advancing wireless to the next level to outsmarting terrorists on the Web."

    Well see, the thing with the T-rays is that if we can aim them towards the terrorists then hopefully we can "take a big bite out of crime" so to speak, or, if it's not like a T-Rex and it's more like a T-cell then at least we can cause them some sort of cancer. If we're lucky we'll give them a big whopping brain tumor and eventually our researchers will be able to outsmart them.

    Maybe not.
