A new take on carbon capture

“This is a pragmatic solution that’s not trying to reshape the world as we dream of it. It’s looking at the problem at hand today and fixing it,” Cameron Halliday says.

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.

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.

Why animals are a critical part of forest carbon absorption

A great hornbill (Buceros bicornis) eats a fig in Royal Manas National Park, Bhutan. Hornbills are key long-distance seed dispersers in Asian tropical forests, but forest degradation, hunting, and wildlife trade threaten the ecological roles they play.

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.

When Earth iced over, early life may have sheltered in meltwater ponds

Researchers Ian Hawes of the University of Waikato and Marc Schallenberg of the University of Otago measure the physicochemical conditions of a meltwater pond.
