Advancing urban tree monitoring with AI-powered digital twins

MIT Assistant Professor Sara Beery contributed to the new Tree D-fusion system, which can generate a simulation-ready 3D model of a real tree from images such as those found on Google Street View. The system leverages a tree shape generated using species- and environment-specific data to create realistic, lifelike tree models.

More durable metals for fusion power reactors

MIT Energy Initiative

Based on theoretical and experimental studies, MIT engineers have shown that adding nanoparticles of certain ceramics to the metal walls of the vessel containing the reacting plasma inside a nuclear fusion reactor can protect the metal from damage, significantly extending its lifetime. Professor Ju Li (right) and postdoc So Yeon Kim (left) examine samples of the composite they have fabricated for their demonstrations.
