Elizabeth A. Thomson It is clear that humankind needs increasingly more resources, from computing power to steel and concrete, to meet the growing demands associated with data centers, infrastructure, and other mainstays of society. New, cost-effective …
LHF: Hello, I’m Laur Hesse Fisher, and you’re listening to Today I Learned: Climate, the climate change podcast of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. And today, we’re talking about digging for energy. Which is a familiar enough idea: it’s what coal …
This story by MIT Environmental Solutions Journalism Fellow Paul Ruffins was originally published in Streetcar Suburbs News, where it appears with additional photos. It is the second in a series of articles exploring landfills, food waste, and methane …
Improving the US electric power system would provide many benefits, whether the goal is to keep up with projected demand growth and spur economic development, to lower household energy costs, to bolster the system’s resilience to natural or nefarious …
Two interactive climate solutions simulators, co-developed by Climate Interactive and the MIT Sloan School of Management, were commended in January as part of the Financial Times’ 2025 Responsible Business Education awards program. In addition, a third MIT …
Tropical cyclones are hurricanes that brew over the tropical ocean and can travel over land, inundating coastal regions. The most extreme cyclones can generate devastating storm tides — seawater that is heightened by the tides and swells onto land, causing …
Nancy W. Stauffer As the world moves to reduce carbon emissions, solar and wind power will play an increasing role on electricity grids. But those renewable sources only generate electricity when it’s sunny or windy. So to ensure a reliable power grid — …
“No cash prizes. But our friends in Kiev are calling in, and they’ll probably say thanks,” was the the tagline that drew students and tech professionals to join MIT-Ukraine’s first-ever hackathon this past January. The hackathon was co-sponsored by MIT- …

By Kylie Foy | MIT Lincoln Laboratory The Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) has awarded MIT Lincoln Laboratory a 2025 FLC Excellence in Technology Transfer Award. The award recognizes the laboratory's exceptional efforts in commercializing microwave …
A study by MIT researchers finds “using scrubbers to treat exhaust from heavy fuel oil may offer environmental performance on par with, and in some areas superior to, burning low-sulfur fuels in maritime shipping,” reports Hassan Ahmed for Engineeringness …
Enabling and sustaining a clean energy transition depends not only on groundbreaking technology to redefine the world’s energy systems, but also on that innovation happening at scale. As a part of an ongoing speaker series, the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI …
U.S. News and Word Report has again placed MIT’s graduate program in engineering at the top of its annual rankings, released today. The Institute has held the No. 1 spot since 1990, when the magazine first ranked such programs. The MIT Sloan School of …
