An AI model developed at MIT and Qatar Computing Research Institute uses only satellite imagery to automatically tag road features in digital maps. This innovation could improve GPS navigation, especially in countries…
‘Green methane’ from artificial photosynthesis could recycle CO2
A new artificial photosynthesis approach uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into methane, which could help make natural-gas-powered devices carbon neutral. Methane is the main component of natural gas. Photosynthesis is the…
Researchers propose solutions for networking lag in massive IoT devices
The internet of things (IoT) widely spans from the smart speakers and Wi-Fi-connected home appliances to manufacturing machines that use connected sensors to time tasks on an assembly line, warehouses that rely…
Ingestible medical devices can be broken down with light
MIT engineers demonstrated a bariatric balloon that can be inflated in the stomach and then degraded by shining light on the seal, which is made of a novel light-sensitive polymer. A variety…
Researchers Create ‘Living Concrete’ From Bacteria
Researchers have developed a new approach to designing more sustainable buildings with help from Bacteria. In a study published in the journal Matter, CU Boulder researchers describe their strategy for using bacteria…
