Giving buildings an “MRI” to make them more energy-efficient and resili...

Tarek Rakha PhD ’15, CEO and founder of Lamarr.AI, says her firm’s technology “is like giving a building an MRI using drones, infrared imaging, visible light imaging, and proprietary AI that we developed through computer vision technology, along with large language models for report generation.”

What should countries do with their nuclear waste?

The researchers also investigated the effect of environmental regulations and technologies related to I-129 management, to illuminate the tradeoffs associated with different approaches around the world.

Battery-powered appliances make it easy to switch from gas to electric

“We’re making ‘going electric’ like an appliance swap instead of a construction project,” says founder Sam Calisch. Pictured is an example of Copper’s battery-equipped kitchen range.

MIT engineers solve the sticky-cell problem in bioreactors and other indust...

To test their setup, researchers allowed algae cells to stick to the surface of the photobioreactor. When they applied a voltage, the bubbles separated the cells from the surfaces without harming them.

Concrete “battery” developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power

An electron-conducting carbon concrete (ec³)-based arch structure integrates supercapacitor electrodes for dual functionality. The prototype demonstrates both structural load bearing and the ability to power an LED, with the light’s intensity varying under applied load, highlighting the potential for real-time structural health monitoring via the supercapacitor.

A greener way to 3D print stronger stuff

A new software and hardware toolkit called SustainaPrint can help users strategically combine strong and weak filaments to achieve the best of both worlds. Instead of printing an entire object with high-performance plastic, the system analyzes a model, predicts where the object is most likely to experience stress, and reinforces those zones with stronger material.
