How to clean solar panels without water

Dust that accumulates on solar panels is a major problem, but washing the panels uses huge amounts of water. MIT engineers have now developed a waterless cleaning method to remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.

New “risk triage” platform pinpoints compounding threats to US infrastr...

MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy

As climate change amplifies the frequency and intensity of hurricanes and other extreme events in the United States and around the world, and the populations and economies they threaten grow and change, there is a critical need to make infrastructure more resilient. A new "risk triage" platform developed by the MIT Joint Program could help decision-makers to take action to mitigate and adapt to multiple, compounding risks that face the nation.(Source: Severe Weather Europe)
