MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and thence into useful fuels for cars, trucks, and planes, as well as into chemical feedstocks for a wide variety of products.

Deep Learning's Diminishing Returns : MIT's Neil Thompson and several of his collaborators captured the top spot with a thoughtful feature article about the computational and energy costs of training deep learning systems. Several came from Spectrum 's October 2021 special issue on AI, The Great AI Reckoning.

Wong describes the new digital afterlife industry in a chapter of her new book from MIT Press, We the Data: Human Rights in the Digital Age. And I think this is what we’ll talk about a little bit in today’s conversation in the sense that there’s no real way to know where data go once they’re created about you. Not just digital data.

New research by MIT scientists suggests that carbon nanotubes could be used to create elastic energy storage systems with energy densities that could be three orders of magnitude higher than those of conventional steel springs, and comparable to Li-ion batteries with potentially more durability and reliability.

While chemically converting natural gas to liquid fuels (GTL) is a proven technology that increases volumetric energy density, the current conversion approach through Fischer-Tropsch (FT-GTL) is challenged by both high capital costs and low conversion efficiencies. process intensification approaches for biological methane conversion.

Since projects were not assigned from above, the researchers formed their own groups; support for a project depended on how many people its instigator could get to work on it. The group thought it should have a computer of its own. This had its advantages. The phrase was ‘Tom Sawyering,’ ” recalled James G. Frame buffer.
