Dynamic stochastic matching problems arise in a variety of recent applications, ranging from ridesharing and online video games to kidney exchange. Such problems are naturally formulated as Markov ...

Chemists have developed a strategy using disulfide-containing small molecules to facilitate the reversible control and delivery of ribonucleic acid (RNA). A research team has developed a method that ...

We present an Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) approach for the multidimensional knapsack problem (MKP). We approximate the value function (a) using parametric and nonparametric methods and (b) ...

RNA’s single-stranded nature makes it amenable to forming complicated structures through folding. Using RNA nanotechnology, a single-stranded architecture (named RNA origami) was developed that ...

Using an RNA sensor, MIT engineers have designed a new way to trigger cells to turn on a synthetic gene. The researchers demonstrated that their sensor could accurately identify cells expressing a ...
