Cell-Splitting Science In a surprising discovery, MIT scientists found tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cells. Enabled by a new high-resolution mapping technique, the findings overturn a long-held belief that the genome loses its internal 3D structure when cells divide.

Shor explains that quantum computers can be used for “simulating quantum mechanics, which would really help immensely in designing new materials, and new materials could be very useful for solving the climate crisis.”  Full story via The Quantum Kid→ Happenings A selection of this week’s community events: — Monday, Oct. 20, 3 p.m. | The Climate Project at MIT presents Evelyn Wang: An Invitation to Discuss the Climate Project — Tuesday, Oct. 21, 4-6 p.m. | MIT Open Space Programming presents Warm Clothing Exchange — Wednesday, Oct. 22, 5 p.m. | MIT Libraries presents Zine-Making Workshop — Wednesday, Oct. 22, 5:30 p.m. |  MIT Morningside Academy for Design and MIT Media Lab present Tony Fadell: Making What Matters — Thursday, Oct. 23, 5 p.m. | MIT Music and Theater Arts and MIT Libraries present Pascal Le Boeuf: Music Forum — Friday, Oct. 24, 12 p.m. | Department of Architecture presents Brian Smith and Alex Marshall: Quarra Stone — Friday, Oct. 24, 5 p.m. | MIT Concert Choir presents Community Sing More happenings via MIT Events→ This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by a periodic table of MIT. 🧪 Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day! —MIT News Forward This Email Subscribe This email was sent to rh3252705.pese@blogger.com because of your affiliation with MIT, or because you signed up for our newsletters. subscribe update preferences unsubscribe view in browser MIT News Office · 77 Massachusetts Avenue · Cambridge, MA 02139 · USA
