Ensuring a durable transition
Progress on the energy transition depends on collective action benefiting all stakeholders, agreed participants in MITEI’s annual research conference.
Climate change
“They can see themselves shaping the world they live in”
Developed by MIT RAISE, the Day of AI curriculum empowers K-12 students to collaborate on local and global challenges using AI.
Making climate models relevant for local decision-makers
A new downscaling method leverages machine learning to speed up climate model simulations at finer resolutions, making them usable on local levels.
HPI-MIT design research collaboration creates powerful teams
Together, the Hasso Plattner Institute and MIT are working toward novel solutions to the world’s problems as part of the Designing for Sustainability research program.
An AI dataset carves new paths to tornado detection
TorNet, a public artificial intelligence dataset, could help models reveal when and why tornadoes form, improving forecasters' ability to issue warnings.
Using deep learning to image the Earth’s planetary boundary layer
Lincoln Laboratory researchers are using AI to get a better picture of the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface. Their techniques could improve weather and drought prediction.
Extracting hydrogen from rocks
Iwnetim Abate aims to stimulate natural hydrogen production underground, potentially unearthing a new path to a cheap, carbon-free energy source.
MIT-derived algorithm helps forecast the frequency of extreme weather
The new approach “nudges” existing climate simulations closer to future reality.
Gosha Geogdzhayev and Sadhana Lolla named 2024 Gates Cambridge Scholars
The MIT seniors will pursue graduate studies at Cambridge University.
Q&A: A blueprint for sustainable innovation
Atacama Biomaterials, co-founded by Paloma Gonzalez-Rojas SM ’15, PhD ’21, combines architecture, machine learning, and chemical engineering to create eco-friendly materials.
