To further that vision, MIT researchers have given new capabilities to their fleet of robotic boats—which are being developed as part of an ongoing project—that lets them target and clasp onto each other, and keep trying if they fail. Moreover, the roboat notices if it has missed the connection, backs up, and tries again.

An international team of researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, has estimated that photosynthetic marine cyanobacteria annually produce hundreds of millions of tonnes of hydrocarbons in the oceans. Oil spills cause widespread damage, but some parts of the marine environment recover faster than others. —Lea-Smith et al.

Researchers at MIT have found a way to use thermophotovoltaic devices—solid-state devices that use the sun’s heat, usually concentrated with mirrors, to generate electricity directly—without mirrors to concentrate sunlight, potentially making the system much simpler and less expensive. similar to the greenhouse effect).
