...building houses a range of departments: neuroscience, bioengineering, particle physics, and biophysics. But it is not only Harvard sciences that are making use of the space. Kate A. Borowitz ‘11, a concentrator in English and American Literature, relaxes on one of the modular red sofas in the basement lobby as she waits for her Justice section to begin.Though she laments that the building is a “long way to walk from Adams,” she says that she may return after sections are over: “it might be a good place...
...Dymaxion House, a metal dwelling suspended by cables from a central mast that held all the plumbing and wiring. He also produced a three-wheel Dymaxion Vehicle--the Whitney has borrowed the last surviving one--and even a Dymaxion Bathroom, which could be manufactured and shipped as a single modular unit. None of those worked out as manufacturing ideas in his lifetime, but they left behind proposals, plausible ones, for the future to work out for itself. What Bucky's career reminds us is that sometimes even bubbles can put down roots...

...heard of artificial limbs and artificial hearts but what about artificial immune systems? Add another notch to the test tube: scientists at VaxDesign, a five-year-old biotechnology company based in Orlando, Florida, have created a simulated human immune system, called the Modular Immune In Vitro Construct (MIMIC for short). The dime-sized immune system can predict how humans will respond to new vaccines. The goal? To streamline vaccine research and hasten the eradication of global killers, such as AIDS...
...fitted with bathrooms, wiring and plasterboard walls, so they require only a minimum of finishing work; the technique is proving to be 25% faster and 10% cheaper than traditional construction methods. But Verbus says the savings could be much bigger. The Uxbridge hotel wasn't originally designed for modular construction. Had it been, construction time could have been halved and costs chopped by as much as 40%. "The economics are compelling," says Verbus company director Paul Rollett. "This is a step change in how to do these things." Travelodge certainly thinks so - it has okayed construction of a second...
