Mantel, founded by MIT alumni, has developed a system that captures CO2 from factories and power plants while delivering steam to customers.

With healthy populations of animals that disperse seeds, tropical forests can absorb up to four times more carbon.

MIT researchers found that subtle chemical patterns persist in conventionally manufactured metal alloys, despite the mixing involved. The surprising finding could be used to tune metallic properties for aerospace, energy, and more.

The “CRESt” AI platform learns from many types of scientific information and runs experiments to discover new materials. The system could generate solutions to energy problems that have plagued the materials science and engineering community for decades.

A new tool called SCIGEN allows researchers to implement design rules that AI models must follow when generating new materials. The advance could speed the development of materials that enable technological breakthroughs.

The delta v summer accelerator at MIT offered an up-close look at how AI is changing the process of building a startup.

A system based on a design conceived in Professor Michael Cima’s lab at MIT has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

MIT researchers designed molecules that can serve as the electrolyte in a lithium-ion battery and then quickly break apart at the end of the battery’s life, making it easier to recycle all of the components.
