WHAT ARE the limits of today's science and technology,
how did we get here, and what lies ahead? The Research
Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) celebrates the sixtieth
anniversary of its 1946 founding by convening key leaders
in forefront research areas from around the world to
present their ideas about what the future holds. BEYOND
THE LIMITS, a year long colloquia series, explores
the boundaries of our current understanding of nature,
and assesses the exciting opportunities to deepen that
understanding and to apply new discoveries to innovative
technologies. Like RLE itself, BEYOND THE LIMITS encompasses
a diverse set of disciplines and multiple viewpoints.
Learn, discover and celebrate with us as these distinguished
speakers present their assessments of where we are—and
their visions for where we are going.
