Transient invaders can transform an ecosystem
|
|
|
|
MIT physicists have shown that introducing a transient invader into a stable population of co-existing bacteria types can provoke the system to switch from one kind of bacteria dominating to an alternative stable state, in which a different bacteria dominates.

|
|
MIT Lincoln Laboratory researchers, together with Associate Prof. Juejun Hu and graduate students from MIT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering, are devising a way to control infrared light by using phase-change materials instead of moving parts. These materials change their optical properties when energy is added to them.
