FEBRUARY 6, 2013
A new desalination process developed by engineers at MIT could treat produced water—deep water, often heavily laden with salts and minerals—from natural gas wells at relatively low cost. The research is the work of a team including MIT postdoc Prakash Narayan, mechanical engineering professor John H.

Daniel Nocera and his associates have found another formulation, based on inexpensive and widely available materials, that can efficiently catalyze the splitting of water molecules using electricity. Earlier post.). Earlier post.). Materials for the new catalyst are even more abundant and inexpensive than those required for the first.

To further that vision, MIT researchers have given new capabilities to their fleet of robotic boats—which are being developed as part of an ongoing project—that lets them target and clasp onto each other, and keep trying if they fail. The aim is to use roboat units to bring new capabilities to life on the water.

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. —Ruonan Han.
