MIT engineers have genetically engineered strains of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to boost the production of lipids by about 25% compared to previously engineered yeast strains. Oleaginous yeasts are characterized by complex internal membranes that enable high storage capacity of neutral lipids (mainly triacylglycerides).

Until now, the energy storage field has had two options to try to drive down costs—high volume production or entirely new chemistries that may never move from the lab to the commercial floor. The semisolid thick electrode is a material science innovation originating in Dr. Chiang’s lab at MIT. 24M has fixed the flaws.

Although military aircraft were breaking the sound barrier daily during the 1950s and '60s, commercial passenger flights during this time remained limited to subsonic speeds. Now, several aircraft manufacturers and NASA are intent on ushering in a new era of supersonic commercial aviation.

At commercial scale, the inputs to the proposed “carbon refinery” process are carbon-free renewable energy, water, and CO 2. The CO 2 released in the upgrading process is recycled internally to produce more acetate. MIT proposes to reduce or eliminate CO 2 generation during lipid production by (1) engineering Y.

The MIT will develop a new generation of power electronics based on vertical gallium nitride (GaN) superjunction diodes and transistors that can vastly exceed the performance of today’s GaN power devices. These dendrites can cause battery failure and pose a safety hazard due to internal short-circuit.

Perhaps, but getting the vast majority of 111 million US households who own one or more light duty internal combustion vehicles to switch to EVs is going to take time. In addition, using smaller batteries would allow more EVs to be built, and potentially relieve pressure on the battery supply chain. Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis.

The supply of metals like cobalt, copper, lithium, and nickel needed for batteries is already shaky , and soaring demand for the hundreds of millions of batteries in the coming decades is likely to trigger shortage and high prices. China processes about 80 percent of battery raw materials, creating a chokehold on global supplies.
