MIT researchers have demonstrated that an aircraft with a 5-meter wingspan can sustain steady-level flight using ionic-wind propulsion. The researchers describe their proof of concept for electroaerodynamic (EAD) airplane propulsion in a paper in the journal Nature. The MIT team’s final design resembles a large, lightweight glider.

Researchers at MIT and their colleagues are proposing a new design for electrodes that, based on the long-sought goal of using pure lithium metal as the anode, could lead to longer-lived batteries with higher energy densities. We designed this structure that gives us three-dimensional electrodes, like a honeycomb. —Ju Li.

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. With each concept learned, the students built a more difficult app. “It
