Wearable technology has become highly popular through their manifestation in devices like watches, rings and eyewear. Now researchers at MIT have pioneered a revolutionary smart fabric whose thread-based computer, hasContinue Reading
The fight against climate change requires a clear understanding of the problem. However, a new report by Data For Progress and Fossil Fuel Research suggests this understanding might be cloudedContinue Reading
MIT scientists have come up with a solar-powered system that can turn salty water into drinkable water. Plus, it can do it in bigger quantities and for less money. ThisContinue Reading
The Pantheon in Rome still stands defiantly 2,000 years after it was erected, its marble floors protected by the world’s biggest unreinforced concrete dome. Researchers have been probing samples fromContinue Reading
Donald Sadoway (who has been at MIT since 1978) and his research colleagues recently reported the development of an aluminum sulfur battery that is less expensive than lithium-ion batteries. TheContinue Reading
Engineers at MIT and the Technical University of Munich have created a new form of glucose fuel cell that is just 400 nanometres thick – thinner than a sheet ofContinue Reading
Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have created a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell that turns heat into electricity with a conversion efficiency of more than 40%, outperforming standardContinue Reading
We already know that a solid-state battery outperforms a battery with liquid or semi-liquid electrolytes. It is less likely to catch fire. It also has a higher energy density, isContinue Reading
