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.”

Using classic physical phenomena to solve new problems

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

Marco Graffiedi’s work in the Red Lab primarily focuses is on quenching, which will play an important role in refueling in space — and in the cooling of nuclear cores.

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.

Responding to the climate impact of generative AI

“We are on a path where the effects of climate change won’t be fully known until it is too late to do anything about it,” says Jennifer Turliuk MBA ’25, who is working to help policymakers, scientists, and enterprises consider the multifaceted costs and benefits of generative AI. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to innovate and make AI systems less carbon-intense.”

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.
