Typical MIT press release: the best part is in the URL.

MIT announcements do tend to take it for granted that, if one is really interested or even vaguely curious, one will follow the link to the actual explanation.On the plus side, MIT press releases rarely do the thing which many press releases do which drives me crazy, which is use lots of words and include almost no information. I'm constantly being annoyed by press releases for new books which give no hint of what the book is about or even if it is fiction or nonfiction, but toss around lots of fluff words, such as "luminou" and "heart-strings."
