Whether it's self-navigating robotic cars, hacking Charlie, or cracking the game of blackjack to win millions from Vegas casinos, the kids at MIT tend not to leave any stone unturned, and last week continued the trend. A team of MIT engineers announced the development of a tiny batteries partially assembled by viruses. The batteries, checking in at a scant 4 micrometers wide (compared to the 17-181 micrometer width of human hair), have similar performance characteristics to standard lithium-ion batteries. The MIT team hopes eventually to produce wholly virus-assembled batteries that can be implanted into living tissue for use in medical devices. No doubt the next step will be to use these virus-batteries in a device to make the female population of campus resemble fictional MIT student Kate Bosworth. The study will be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences with considerably fewer references to 2008 movies based on card-counting.

Going to MIT looks mighty glamorous in 21, the movie that was shooting in Cambridge and even shut down the Harvard Bridge at one point. The actors portraying the students have swell angular haircuts, and Spoon is on the soundtrack. Wonder what the movie will do for MIT admissions? Here's the trailer: It's a little odd to see Kevin Spacey as a professor and Kate Bosworth as a student since they played the married Bobby...

A hot-pink color scheme. A dead ringer for Kate Bosworth on the cover. A first chapter that opens with lyrics from Loverboy's "Workin' for the Weekend." No kidding. Restless Virgins, a book on the Milton Academy sex scandal, just screams, "Bourgeois sex! Bourgeois sex! Yippee skippy!" The sex scandal in question didn't involve teachers (Exhibit A: Arlington's school system) but a 2005 incident in which one girl was - ahem - orally satisfying the sexual...
