A new desalination process developed by engineers at MIT could treat produced water—deep water, often heavily laden with salts and minerals—from natural gas wells at relatively low cost. The research is the work of a team including MIT postdoc Prakash Narayan, mechanical engineering professor John H.

Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. By 2020 our battery costs will be less than $100 a kilowatt-hour (kWh). The semisolid thick electrode is a material science innovation originating in Dr. Chiang’s lab at MIT.

But reducing the cost of these sensors to a level that would satisfy automakers has remained an elusive goal for lidar manufacturers, which must also consider how to add their devices to cars without detracting from vehicle aesthetics. We and others at our company, Analog Photonics , which spun out of MIT in 2016, hope to break this impasse.

The current gold-standard test for the SARS-CoV-2 takes several hours to create enough copies of the virus' genetic material to detect. The above quantum sensor for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses only low-cost materials. MIT The nano-diamonds and the other materials used in the test are cheap.

A cell is built using a standard cathode material and a bare metal foil for the anode. Steven Kaye: ONE’s anode-free cell advantages include high energy density (thin lithium metal anode), low cost (no anode present during cell assembly, low-cost liquid electrolyte), and abundant raw materials (mostly manganese, zero cobalt).
