The National Academy of Sciences has elected 120 new members and 30 international associates, including five professors from MIT Dan Freedman, Robert Griffin, Larry Guth, Stephen Morris, and Gigliola Staffilani in recognition of their “distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.” Current membership totals 2,461 active members and 511 international associates. Membership is one of the highest honors that a scientist can achieve.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit institution that was established under a congressional charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. It recognizes achievement in science by election to membership, and with the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine provides science, engineering, and health policy advice to the federal government and other organizations.

Novel âscattering-invariantâ light mode probes opaque materials
15 Apr 2021
Researchers at Utrecht and TU Vienna develop new form of light waves that travel through opaque materials.
Big Dipper: a beam passes undisturbed through a disordered medium. Click for info.Researchers at Utrecht University, The Netherlands, and at TU Wien (Vienna, Austria) have created a special type of lightwaves that can penetrate opaque materials and pass through â as if the material were not obstructing or interrupting them.
The scientists say that, for any specific disordered medium, the tailor-made light beams can be constructed that are practically not changed by the medium, but only attenuated.
