Unravelling carbon uptake in concrete pavements

MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub

A model developed at MIT suggests that a natural carbon uptake process in concrete could offset 5 percent of the CO2 emissions generated from the cement used in U.S. pavements.

Solar-powered system extracts drinkable water from “dry” air

A prototype of the new two-stage water harvesting system (center right), was tested on an MIT rooftop. The device, which was connected to a laptop for data collection and was mounted at an angle to face the sun, has a black solar collecting plate at the top, and the water it produced flowed into two tubes at bottom.

Chemists make tough plastics recyclable

Thermoset polymers, found in car parts and electrical appliances, have to be durable and heat-resistant, but typically cannot be easily recycled or broken down after use. MIT chemists have now developed a way to modify thermoset plastics that allows them to be more easily broken down without compromising their mechanical strength.
