Robotic probe quickly measures key properties of new materials

Scientists are striving to discover new semiconductor materials that could boost the efficiency of solar cells and other electronics. The pace of innovation is bottlenecked by the speed at which researchers can manually measure important material properties, but a fully autonomous robotic system developed by MIT researchers could speed things up.

Study helps pinpoint areas where microplastics will accumulate

One key factor in determining where microparticles are likely to build up has to do with the presence of biofilms — thin, sticky biopolymer layers shed by microorganisms, which can accumulate on surfaces, including sandy riverbeds or seashores.

How can India decarbonize its coal-dependent electric power system?

MIT Energy Initiative

India has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions, a difficult task as the country’s electric power system relies on many coal-burning power plants. While some of the plants are fuel-efficient (right), many more are not (left). MITEI researchers have explored and clarified India’s decarbonization options and have posted their methods and results for use by other countries in the midst of similar energy transitions.
