The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) announced its latest round of seed grants to support early-stage innovative energy projects. Past themes have included topics as diverse as the role of big data and the energy-water nexus. A total of more than $1.6 million was awarded to 11 projects, each lasting up to two years.

The 4D printing concept, which allows materials to self-assemble into 3D structures, was initially proposed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty member Skylar Tibbits in April of this year. Tibbits and his team combined a strand of plastic with a layer made out of smart material that could self-assemble in water.

Using a new kind of hydrogel material, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have pulled water out of thin air at temperatures low enough to be achieved with sunlight. Atmospheric water harvesting draws water from humidity in the air. The material is a hydrogel, a polymer network that naturally retains a lot of water.
