My theory is MIT has really good PR (in addition to a lot of really smart people). Over many years I've noticed when research comes out of MIT headlines almost always state "MIT does X". I haven't noticed this pattern as much with other Universities. Here's a test, go to google news, and search for '<university> researchers' and look for articles about research results/breakthroughs from that University. I tried it with MIT and Harvard, here are the top three results about research for each: * MIT figures out how to power tiny devices with... the ear * MIT Breakthrough Could Lead To New Military Body Armor Only... * New MIT Method Could Help Communities Plan For Climate Risk and for Harvard: * Tiny, Artificial Lung On Microchip Used To Test Drugs * Harvard Research Finds New Ways to Change Coating Colors * Bio-battery could power medical implants
