These efforts involved adapting tools that were developed originally for environments out of water, for instance to reveal the true color of features in foggy conditions. Using a computational strategy that allows them to combine information from many large datasets, mit researchers have identified several new potential targets for alzheimer’s disease. A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water. Mit professor rafael jaramillo seeks to develop new, more sustainable semiconductor materials His work could improve the economics and reduce the environmental footprint of semiconductors used in telecommunications, microelectronics, photovoltaics, and more.
Mit will also host aim photonics’ program in education and workforce development, which kimerling will direct Mit and the southern university of science and technology (sustech) in shenzhen, china, have announced the launch of the centers for mechanical engineering research and education at mit and sustech The two centers, which will be located at mit and sustech, aim to foster research collaborations and inspire new approaches to engineering education. Math enthusiasts take aim at stem glass ceiling mit hosts the 14th math prize for girls, which aims to encourage female middle and high school students of mathematics.
