MIT researchers have now developed a sub-terahertz-radiation receiving system that could help steer driverless cars when traditional methods fail. Our low-cost, on-chip sub-terahertz sensors will play a complementary role to LiDAR for when the environment is rough. With our design, there’s essentially no boundary for scalability.

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The study found that there are significant global supplies of conventional gas.
