When methane hydrates are “melted,” or exposed to pressure and temperature conditions outside those where the formations are stable, the solid crystalline lattice turns to liquid water, and the enclosed methane molecules are released as gas. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). MIT will work with the U.S. Earlier post.).

An international team from MIT, Argonne National Laboratory and Peking University has demonstrated a lab-scale proof-of-concept of a new type of cathode for Li-air batteries that could overcome the current drawbacks to the technology, including a high potential gap (>1.2 V)

Scaringe—a bespectacled mechanical engineer with a PhD from MIT—a billionaire by the age of 38. But for proof, the R1T successfully completed the TransAmerica Trail, a roughly 5,000-mile gauntlet from North Carolina to the Oregon coast. Instead, it’s the Rivian R1T, from the California start-up that’s already made founder R.J.

Engineers at Georgia Tech are the first to study the mechanics of springtails, which leap in the water to avoid predators. MIT ] The researchers from North Carolina State University have recently developed a fast and efficient soft robotic swimmer that swims resembling human's butterfly-stroke style. Paper ] Thanks, Nathanaël!
