Ford is applying MuCell microcellular foam technology ( earlier post ) in the instrument panel of the all-new Escape. Invented by MIT, and subsequently acquired by Trexel in 1995, the MuCell process was initially created for development and commercial use in the injection molding industry worldwide.

Researchers at MIT, led by associate professor of mechanical engineering Kripa Varanasi, say they have found a solution, described recently in the RSC journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Methanol is a good inhibitor, Varanasi notes, but is very environmentally unfriendly if it escapes.

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. But in this process the oxygen ions become more mobile, which can cause them to escape from the cathode particles.

Perhaps the requirement that a robot is mechanical and electronic is too strict, although as Čapek himself realized a hundred years ago, what defines a robot has escaped from the control of anyone, even its creator. They were not a celebration of mechanical engineering. Published by The MIT Press. Copyright © 2024 MIT.

Such a design, as described at the Small Modular Reactors Symposium by MIT professors Jacopo Buongiorno, Michael Golay, and Neil Todreas, along with others from MIT, the University of Wisconsin, and Chicago Bridge and Iron, could ride out tsunamis.
