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.”

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.

Book reviews technologies aiming to remove carbon from the atmosphere

MIT Energy Initiative

“Carbon Removal,” by MIT Energy Initiative Senior Research Engineer Howard Herzog (pictured) and Professor Niall Mac Dowell of Imperial College London, explores the history and intricacies of removing carbon dioxide from the Earth’s atmosphere.

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.

VAMO proposes an alternative to architectural permanence

VAMO (Vegetal, Animal, Mineral, Other), is an ultra-lightweight, biodegradable, and transportable canopy designed to circle around a brick column in the Corderie of the Venice Arsenale — a historic space originally used to manufacture ropes for the city’s naval fleet.

Recovering from the past and transitioning to a better energy future

MIT Energy Initiative

Emily Carter (right), the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment at Princeton University, explained how climate change mitigation must include transformation, intervention, and adaptation strategies. William Green, director of the MIT Energy Initiative, moderated the discussion.
