Propelling atomically layered magnets toward green computers

The flow of electrical current in the bottom crystalline slab (representing WTe2) breaks a mirror symmetry (shattered glass), while the material itself breaks the other mirror symmetry (cracked glass). The resulting spin current has vertical polarization that switches the magnetic state of the top 2D ferromagnet.

Shining a light on oil fields to make them more sustainable

Amplified Industries’ sensors and analytics give oil well operators real-time alerts when things go wrong, allowing them to respond to issues before they become disasters.

“Life is short, so aim high”

“I want to pass on to my kids a world at least as lovely and diverse as I’ve enjoyed and, like most people, I’m worried for the future of our planet,” Rafael Jaramillo says. “Different people can and should bring different disciplinary backgrounds and skillsets to bear on problems of shared importance — it takes a village to solve the hardest ones.”

Atmospheric observations in China show rise in emissions of a potent greenh...

MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy

The contribution of sulfur hexafluoride to the greenhouse effect is more than 24,000 times that of carbon dioxide; the gas is commonly used in electric power grids. A new study quantifies China’s contribution to global SF6 emissions and locates their sources.

A delicate dance

MIT Energy Initiative

Professor Catherine Wolfram, an economist in the MIT Sloan School of Management, looks for ways to decarbonize global energy systems while recognizing that energy drives economic development, especially in the developing world.

Engineers find a new way to convert carbon dioxide into useful products

MIT chemical engineers have shown that by using DNA to tether a catalyst (blue circles) to an electrode, they can make the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide much more efficient.

MIT-derived algorithm helps forecast the frequency of extreme weather

A new prediction method fueled by an MIT-derived algorithm helps forecast frequency of extreme weather.

An MIT team is hoping to fortify coastlines with “architected” reefs — sustainable, offshore structures that are engineered to mimic the wave-buffering effects of natural reefs while also providing pockets for fish and other marine life to live.

Think globally, rebuild locally

Studying Amsterdam, MIT researchers found the optimal system for reusing construction materials has many local storage “hubs” that keep materials within a few miles of where they will be needed. The findings could help policymakers and urban planners develop circular economies of reused materials.
