Now, a team of researchers at MIT and Brookhaven National Laboratory has developed a way of achieving results that equal or surpass the durability of the coated surfaces, but with no need for any coatings. The research was supported by the US Army Research Office through MIT’s Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies.

MIT researchers have found that changing the pH of the system can increase the lifetimes of a range of technologies including fuel cells. However, their commercial viability has been hampered, in part, because they degrade over time. Fuel and electrolysis cells made of solid metal oxides are of interest for several reasons.

Back in 2005, before smartphones were generally available, MIT Professor Hari Balakrishnan was so fed up with commuting delays in Boston that he built a mobile system to monitor road conditions. In 2010 Balakrishnan and two cofounders commercialized CarTel by launching Cambridge Mobile Telematics. Help came in 2009 from William V.

John Hansman , an aeronautics and astronautics professor at MIT and director of the university’s International Center for Air Transportation. There’s a lot of technology that would have to be developed.” While NASA typically relies on helium, a new way to purge fuel lines may be needed to work for a commercial aviation setting.

Although electrification has shown promise toward reducing the carbon footprint of passenger vehicles, aviation remains dependent on hydrocarbon fuels due to their high energy density relative to even the most advanced battery technologies available today. —Stone et al.

Researchers at MIT and in China are proposing a new class of dense intercalation-conversion hybrid cathodes by combining intercalation-type Mo 6 S 8 with conversion-type sulfur (HMSC) to realize a Li–S full cell. This is comparable to some commercial batteries, indicating that the new device does match its predicted characteristics.
