MIT researchers led by MIT Professor and colleagues at Brown University have developed an approach to controlling dendrite propagation in solid-state batteries. MIT graduate student Cole Fincher developed a way of making thin cells using a transparent electrolyte, allowing the whole process to be directly seen and recorded.

Now, oceanographers at MIT, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and elsewhere have carried out an experiment at sea for the first time to study the turbulent sediment plume that mining vessels would potentially release back into the ocean. —Thomas Peacock, professor of mechanical engineering at MIT and co-corresponding author.

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. When the engineers added even more lithium, the performance improved far beyond the initial value.

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.

To electrify larger, heavier jets, such as commercial airliners, megawatt-scale motors are required. To date, however, only small all-electric planes have gotten off the ground. Their electric motors generate hundreds of kilowatts of power. These would be propelled by hybrid or turbo-electric propulsion systems where an […]

John Hansman , an aeronautics and astronautics professor at MIT and director of the university’s International Center for Air Transportation. The pipeline-and-hydrant option is the best option from an engineering perspective. Hydrogen may be a good thing, but you gotta look at it from the full system level, right?,” asks Professor R.
