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. He interviewed for a faculty position at MIT and knew immediately it was where he wanted to work, he says. In the final year of his Ph.D.,

John Hansman , an aeronautics and astronautics professor at MIT and director of the university’s International Center for Air Transportation. The idea, Hansman says, was to focus on a smaller set of airports and, theoretically, limit the potential new infrastructure that might be required by hydrogen-powered flight. asks Professor R.

MIT researchers have demonstrated that an aircraft with a 5-meter wingspan can sustain steady-level flight using ionic-wind propulsion. The MIT team’s final design resembles a large, lightweight glider. This research was supported, in part, by MIT Lincoln Laboratory Autonomous Systems Line, the Professor Amar G. —Xu et al.

Now, researchers at MIT have found a way to streamline the discovery process using a machine learning system. MIT professor of chemical engineering Heather Kulik says they “are really fascinating, functional materials that are unlike a lot of other material phases. These can exist in a vast number of different forms.

To further that vision, MIT researchers have given new capabilities to their fleet of robotic boats—which are being developed as part of an ongoing project—that lets them target and clasp onto each other, and keep trying if they fail. Moreover, the roboat notices if it has missed the connection, backs up, and tries again.

Researchers at MIT, led by associate profess of electrical and computer engineering Ruonan Han , tested a scheme that would use terahertz waves instead. Instead the MIT team designed a terahertz “backscatter” system. MIT To get data from the quantum computing chip, the system switches to uplink mode.
