Here's the pix of the famous Media Lab. According to this prof I was asking directions from they are currently working (among other things) on armour for soldiers that is like gel so comfortable but will harden when hit.

And another really cool thing was the "Kendall Band" that was in the subway station for MIT. The students had designed this giant wind chime sort of thing between the tracks that waiting passengers can twist a handle to begin. I tried it of course! It really gets a neat sound going through the underground station...very interesting echo effects.
