Or, new-ish, at least—there's a ruggedized and ultra low-cost GelSight-style fingertip sensor, plus a nifty new kind of tactile sensing skin based on suspended magnetic particles and machine learning. The DIGIT touch sensor is based on the GelSight style of sensor, which was first conceptualized at MIT over a decade ago.

The team anticipates at least a twofold productivity improvement over current levels and a cost that can be competitive with gasoline. The project also includes a proprietary process to convert waste biomass into carbon dioxide and hydrogen to feed the bioreactor, allowing butanol production from waste feedstocks. Harvard, Univ.

Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. By 2020 our battery costs will be less than $100 a kilowatt-hour (kWh). The semisolid thick electrode is a material science innovation originating in Dr. Chiang’s lab at MIT.

And unlike conventional nuclear fission, fusion comes with no risk of meltdowns or weaponization, and no long-lived nuclear waste. The magnets, licensed from MIT, were designed for a tokamak, but Type One is modifying the coil structure to accommodate the intricate twists and turns of a stellarator.
