Financial Times reporter Seb Murray highlights a new paper by Prof. Roberto Rigobon and Research Scientist Florian Berg that explores why different ESG ratings can paint different pictures of the same company, finding that “measurement differences between rating agencies are the main source of divergence.” Murray notes that “by exposing these inconsistencies, the research highlights the ...
In recent years, researchers have developed color-correcting tools that aim to reproduce the true colors in the ocean. These efforts involved adapting tools that were developed originally for environments out of water, for instance to reveal the true color of features in foggy conditions.
MIT spinout AIM Biotech has developed a microfluidics device that lets researchers co-culture multiple cell types in a 3-D hydrogel environment that mimics natural tissue, to more accurately study biological processes, such as cancer metastasis, and better capture how cancer cells react to chemotherapy agents.
MIT has launched a new certificate program in manufacturing education, TechAMP, as part of its Initiative for New Manufacturing. The 12-month program could help workers advance in their careers and help firms develop a more skilled workforce.
Using a computational strategy that allows them to combine information from many large datasets, MIT researchers have identified several new potential targets for Alzheimer’s disease.
The MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium is a collaboration between MIT, founding member companies, and researchers across disciplines who aim to develop open-source generative AI solutions, accelerating innovations in education, research, and industry.
MIT professor Rafael Jaramillo seeks to develop new, more sustainable semiconductor materials. His work could improve the economics and reduce the environmental footprint of semiconductors used in telecommunications, microelectronics, photovoltaics, and more.
MIT engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls.
A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.
The AIM Photonics fall meeting was a collaborative effort of AIM Photonics Academy, the Microphotonics Center at MIT, and iNEMI. About two dozen attendees joined the Massachusetts Integrated Photonics Manufacturing Supply Chain meeting on the final day. The meeting concluded with the first meeting of the AIM Academy Advisory Council.
