Researchers Confirm Nearby “Lensing” Exoplanet
Researchers using telescopes around the world confirmed and characterized an exoplanet orbiting a nearby star through a rare phenomenon known as gravitational microlensing. The exoplanet has a mass similar to Neptune, but it orbits a…
Cooling with no electricity
Imagine a device that can sit outside under blazing sunlight on a clear day, and without using any power cool things down by more than 23 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius). It almost sounds like…
Enabling autonomous vehicles to see around corners
By sensing tiny changes in shadows, a new system identifies approaching objects that may cause a collision. To improve the safety of autonomous systems, MIT engineers have developed a system that can sense tiny changes…
Engineers develop a new way to remove carbon…
This process could work on the gas at any concentrations, from power plant emissions to open air. A new way of removing carbon dioxide from a stream of air could provide a significant tool in…
