The nonprofit was one of seven winners last year of MIT Solve’s Gender Equity in STEM Challenge. The MIT Solve Gender Equity in STEM Challenge thoroughly vets all applicants—their theories, practices, organizational health, and impact,” Smith says. The initiative supports organizations that work to address gender barriers.

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.

Scientists have made a major advance in harnessing machine learning to accelerate the design for better batteries. By understanding the fundamental reactions that occur within the battery we can extend its life, enable faster charging and ultimately design better battery materials. Hongbo Zhao/MIT).

The new materials designed with additive manufacturing techniques exhibit high stiffness and low density, occupying a previously unpopulated area (upper left) of the Ashby material selection chart for Young’s modulus (stiffness) vs. density. The team was able to build microlattices out of polymers, metals and ceramics.
