Evans and Sutherland, then computer science professors at the University of Utah, wanted to expand on the use of such tools by finding a way for computers to simulate objects and environments. He helped develop hardware techniques that enabled commercial use of time-shared computer systems. thesis in 1963 at MIT.

For 15 years, my team at the University of Göttingen, in Germany, has been collaborating with colleagues at the University of Freiburg and beyond to reinvent the cochlear implant in a strikingly counterintuitive way: using light. Then, people all over the world could begin to hear the light. The first device was approved by the U.S.

The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) has released a report on the proceedings—and papers that informed those proceedings—of the 8 April 2010 symposium on The Electrification of the Transportation System: Issues and Opportunities. The symposium was sponsored by the MIT Energy Initiative, together with Ormat, Hess, Cummins and Entergy.

The concept behind V2G had gained traction in the late 1990s after California’s landmark zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) mandate went into effect and compelled automakers to commercialize electric cars. light-duty vehicle fleet would produce around 16 times the output of stationary power plants.

A 2010 NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) analysis concluded that V2V systems potentially could address 79% of all vehicle target crashes, 81% of all light-vehicle target crashes, and 71% of all heavy-truck target crashes annually. Connected vehicle mobility applications provide a connected, data-rich travel environment.

Our lab, the Responsive Environments Group at MIT, has been working for well over a decade on embedding distributed sensor networks into flexible substrates. As the ISS orbits Earth, and the local space environment changes, we'll be triggering our sensors with known excitations to measure how their sensitivity varies over time.

The answer depends in part on whether such cars require a type of sensor called lidar, short for “light detection and ranging.” We and others at our company, Analog Photonics , which spun out of MIT in 2016, hope to break this impasse. It has no moving parts and generates, emits, and receives light with no external hardware.
