Researchers at MIT have shown that a MOF (metal-organic framework) with high electrical conductivity—Ni 3 (2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) 2 (Ni 3 (HITP) 2 )—can serve as the sole electrode material in a supercapacitor. Comparison of areal capacitances among various EDLC materials. —Alexandru Vlad.

A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. Their analysis is published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives. F of warming.

Well-to-wheel GHG estimates for palm hydrotreated renewable diesel (HRD) fuel, with and without direct LUC, and diesel fuel included to enable comparisons. In the accumulation cases, oil accumulated and stored in the algal cells is extracted from biomass that is harvested from the growth ponds. Credit: ACS, Vasudevan et al.

Ce 0.02 (PO 4 ) 3 /C) measured at comparable current densities has been included for comparison. What is different is that the electrode material that stores the Li is all-carbon for both the anode as well as the cathode. The performance of various other cathode materials (LiCoO 2 , LiFePO 4 , LiNi 0.75 O 2 and Li 3 V 1.98

Densities for steel springs and Li-ion batteries provide a comparison. Carol Livermore, associate professor of mechanical engineering and her team used an ordered grouping of carbon nanotubes (CNT) as a spring to store elastic energy for later use—much as a steel spring stores energy in a mechanical watch.

We judge robots’ or AI’s tasks in comparison to humans. I believe many were impressed to see the Mini Cheetah , developed in my MIT Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory, perform a backflip. When selecting groceries with a friend at the store, we cannot each quantify standards for groceries and make a decision based on these numerical values.

A separate paper published online in Science Express by researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole and MIT concludes that indirect land use change associated with global biofuels programs will be responsible for substantially more carbon loss (up to twice as much) than direct land use. issue of the journal Science.
