Collaborating with a local climate technology company, MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab is pursuing scalable erosion solutions that mimic nature, harnessing ocean currents to expand islands and rebuild coastlines.
The scientists’ wide-scale acoustic mapping technique could help track vulnerable keystone species.
As climate change accelerates sea-level rise and intensifies storms, marsh-fronted seawalls can provide an economical coastal defense, MIT engineers report.
Through MIT’s 2N Program and the MIT-WHOI Joint Program, active duty naval officers gain the technical skills they need to lead projects in the Navy.
MIT engineers have developed a fast and sustainable method for producing hydrogen fuel using aluminum, saltwater, and coffee grounds.
Audrey Chen ’24 landed an internship at NASA before she was old enough to drive. Here’s her secret to success.
Portugal’s second-ever satellite was developed in collaboration with the MIT Portugal Program.
MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering grad students are undertaking a broad range of innovative research projects.
The grants fund studies of clean hydrogen production, fetal health-sensing fabric, basalt architecture, and shark-based ocean monitoring.
The sustainable and cost-saving structure could dissipate more than 95 percent of incoming wave energy using a small fraction of the material normally needed.
The system could be used for battery-free underwater communication across kilometer-scale distances, to aid monitoring of climate and coastal change.
Stefan Helmreich’s new book examines the many facets of oceanic wave science and the propagation of wave theory into other areas of life.
A new machine-learning model makes more accurate predictions about ocean currents, which could help with tracking plastic pollution and oil spills, and aid in search and rescue.
Project will develop new materials characterization tools and technologies to assign unique identifiers to individual pearls.
