Sustainability researcher Gaya Herrington made headlines when she found that our civilization will collapse by the year 2040. Her finding are based on another MIT study from 1972. She’s standingContinue Reading
Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have significantly boosted the output from a system that can extract drinkable water directly from the air even in dry regions, using heat from theContinue Reading
MIT bioengineering professor Angela Belcher has been working with millions of zombie viruses on a battery-building technology for a decade now. Belcher first manipulates genetically engineered bacteriophages to infect aContinue Reading
Outside the temperature is below freezing but inside a device created by researchers at MIT, the temperature is 220º C. There are no moving parts, compressors, or vacuum pumps involved.Continue Reading
A team of researchers at MIT and Princeton has demonstrated a way to get every high energy photon striking silicon to kick out two electrons instead of one, opening theContinue Reading
Until November 2018, the annual electricity consumption by Bitcoin was estimated to be about 46 Terawatt-hour (TWh), revealed the study by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Massachusetts Institute ofContinue Reading
Researchers at MIT have some advice for electric vehicle advocates — don’t ignore plug-in hybrid powertrains just because battery electric drivetrains are the ideal. Significant reductions in diesel pollution couldContinue Reading
