MIT and NSTAR celebrate energy efficiency success, extend ‘Efficiency Forward’ through 2015
Since first agreement in 2010, MIT has reduced electricity use on campus by 15 percent.
How to treat heat like light
New approach using nanoparticle alloys allows heat to be focused or reflected just like electromagnetic waves.
Research update: Jumping droplets help heat transfer
Scalable nanopatterned surfaces designed by MIT researchers could make for more efficient power generation and desalination.
Bringing power to the people — and heat as well
Sun-powered system developed by MIT students could provide electricity, heat and cooling to rural schools and clinics.
New chip captures power from multiple sources
System developed at MIT could combine power harvested from light, heat and vibrations to run monitoring systems.
Explained: Phonons
When trying to control the way heat moves through solids, it is often useful to think of it as a flow of particles.
