Outside the Box: Crossing Disciplines at MIT

Outside the Box: Crossing Disciplines at MIT profiles three prominent interdisciplinary researchers at MIT. Profiles include Maria Zuber, a geophysicist renowned for her research on planetary surfaces; Vladimir Bulović, an electrical engineer developing lightweight solar cells; and Paula Hammond, a materials scientist creating new nanomaterials for cancer treatment. Throughout this 16-minute documentary, Outside the Box shows how MIT’s collaborative problem-solving culture often leads scientists to seek answers and ideas outside their own discipline.
