More than 540 initial concept papers were received in the three focus areas. The grants will go to projects in 17 states. The aerobic microbe has been engineered at MIT and is capable of converting a variety of organic compounds into oil, from which biodiesel may be produced.

Researchers at MIT had earlier demonstrated the ability to make biopropane (LPG from corn or sugarcane) using a supercritical water process, and created a startup (C3 BioEnergy) in 2007 that attempted to commercialize the technology.

Based on discoveries made earlier by Anthony Sinskey, professor of microbiology and of health sciences and technology at MIT, new pathways in the bacterium are metabolically engineered to make isopropanol. This is a proof of concept that you can have a way of harvesting solar energy and storing it in the form of a liquid fuel.

So [the girl] invented a teddy bear that would rub her belly for her,” explains Stephanie Couch , executive director of the Lemelson MIT Program. As it is, more than a million patents are granted every year, and we struggle to identify the ones that will make a lasting impact. That’s the promise of today’s generative AI.

One way teachers are trying to help students grasp difficult concepts is through virtual-reality technology. Ganguly says the learning platform is a supplemental program, as “VR is not for everyday use; it’s for learning concepts that students find more difficult to understand.” The startup received grants from the U.S.

A three-year study by a team of researchers based at MIT has concluded that fundamental changes are needed in the US energy-innovation system. The project was supported by a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Business as usual is unsustainable over the long run. matching the scale of the system to the scale of the need.

GM says it is already looking ahead to the next generation of Volt-based vehicles — it unveiled the Cadillac Converj concept in January — and says costs will come down as the technology spreads to more models. One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Forget the black helicopter conspiracies.

Jayme Thornton PPPL researchers say their simpler machine demonstrates a way to build stellarators far more cheaply and quickly, allowing researchers to easily test new concepts for future fusion power plants. The company has secured some DOE research grants and is now focused on raising money from investors.
