The MIT Technology Review reports plug-in hybrids a big 2006 energy story: "The plug-in hybrid-vehicle era begins. This allows the cars, which typically rely on the electric power only for short bursts or to assist the onboard gasoline engine, to run on electricity alone for short trips. See "GM's Plug-In Hybrid.")

Proposed by John Heywood and colleagues at MIT in 2005, the basic premise of E85 boosting is that ethanol (or other lower alcohols) suppresses knock due to the large evaporative cooling effect it has on the air-fuel mixture when injected directly into the cylinder, supplemented by ethanol’s inherent high octane number.

Researchers at MIT have produced the first assessment of the annual costs of IQ losses from aircraft lead emissions in the US. Lead emissions from general aviation (GA) piston-driven aircraft are attributable to the addition of tetraethyl lead (TEL) for the formation of aviation gasoline (avgas). … —Wolfe et al.
