MIT gets USD 10 mln to analyse every tweet
2014-10-02 09:45:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Twitter is giving MIT every tweet ever made publicly and USD 10 million so that the university's Media Lab can study the spread of information, the New York Times reported. MIT's Media Lab will create a research group that will get access to Twitter's entire feed of real-time and archived public tweets dating back to Jack Dorsey's first in 2006. Data scientists want to better understand how information spreads on Twitter and other social media platforms. MIT Media Lab said it plans to build data visualizations, mobile apps and other tools to "create new forms of public communication and social organization." This is Twitter's first financial foray into academic research. The USD 10 million commitment will be spread over five years.

MIT Scientists Explain How Global Warming is 'Temporarily' Cooling Antarctica
2014-08-25 16:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers explain why global warming has led to Arctic losing sea ice, but the same has not been observed in Antarctica. Over the past few years, Arctic has shown considerable reduction in sea ice levels due to global warming. However, Antarctica has cooled and has even gained some ice recently. A new study suggests that ocean circulation can explain why the polar regions have different reactions towards rise in earth's temperature. John Marshall, the...
