  • In recent years, Microsoft and OpenAI have emerged as leaders in the domain of artificial intelligence (AI), and their partnership has shaped much of the industry’s progress. Microsoft’s significant investments of nearly $14 billion since 2019 offered OpenAI access to Azure’s extensive computing resources, enabling rapid advancements in AI model development. These models have powered […]

  • Hundreds of small green gas plants in the UK are set to close by 2031 with the loss of 2 terawatt hours of clean electricity to the grid – enough clean electricity to power around 500,000 homes.1 The closures are apparent from a survey of members undertaken by the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), […]

  • Has AI forever changed the way we work? That depends on which “AI” you’re talking about. Artificial Intelligence describes a wide set of computing technologies that perform various functions. It’s not uncommon to have multiple types of AI in use within the same workplace – or even within the same software program – to optimize […]

  • Plans to revolutionise the aluminium supply chain in the UK have been supported by a £3.4 million grant from the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC). The grant from the APC’s latest collaborative research and development funding round will provide support to an innovative research project aimed at creating the requirements for a world leading metals processing […]

  • The reimagined oxygen sensors meet the requirements of a wide range of different industrial monitoring requirements, says Alphasense. Gas sensor technology firm Alphasense says it has launched a completely redesigned version of its LFO2 oxygen sensor, described as a new generation of long-life oxygen sensor that “reflects a step forward in balancing precision, sustainability, and […]

  • Artificial intelligence has made significant advancements across industries, with weather forecasting standing out as an area of transformational innovation. Its ability to enhance safety measures and improve readiness for weather-related adversities highlights the societal benefits of AI-driven weather predictions. Exploring the Realm of AI-Powered Weather Prediction Utilizing machine learning algorithms and extensive datasets is essential […]

  • As global temperatures rise, extreme weather events are becoming more intense and more frequent all around the world.  Over the past two decades, the cutting-edge field of extreme weather attribution has sought to establish the role that human-caused warming has played in these events. There are now hundreds of attribution studies, assessing extremes ranging from […]

  • Sunday November 17th was the official day of rest for COP29 participants as negotiations stalled, the pavilion chaos closed its doors, and sessions ceased for the entire day. The result: the city of Baku was bustling to accommodate the sudden extreme influx of tourists and foreigners looking to explore the city all at once. I […]

  • COP29 has been a multidimensional experience. I’ve had so many opportunities to grow and learn, for which I truly am grateful. However, after riding the high of the overwhelming buzz and excitement at the conference throughout the week, I’ve had some epiphanies I can’t help but share. One of my significant realizations revolves around the […]

  • When boarding the last plane, almost everyone in the line held the same items. A backpack stuffed to the brim, a reusable water bottle, and some sort of camera. This was just one of the context clues, alongside environmental chatter, that made me realize the majority of the passengers were also on their way to […]

  • As developers and researchers push the boundaries of LLM performance, questions about efficiency loom large. Until recently, the focus has been on increasing the size of models and the volume of training data, with little attention given to numerical precision—the number of bits used to represent numbers during computations. A recent study from researchers at […]

  • With rising energy costs and environmental issues, many people feel an increasing need to find ways to cut consumption and support sustainability. One often overlooked area where energy efficiency can be improved is ceiling access doors, which provide easy access to vital building components like ductwork, wiring, and plumbing. Opting for eco-friendly ceiling access doors […]

  • Making your WordPress website accessible to all users is a necessity. Text-to-speech (TTS) functionality is a crucial feature, serving not only visitors with visual impairments but also those who prefer consuming content through audio. As mobile devices continue to dominate web traffic and multitasking becomes the norm, incorporating high-quality text-to-speech capabilities can significantly enhance user […]

  • Yiming Chen ’24, Wilhem Hector, Anushka Nair, and David Oluigbo have been selected as 2025 Rhodes Scholars and will begin fully funded postgraduate studies at Oxford University in the U.K. next fall. In addition to MIT’s two U.S. Rhodes winners, Ouigbo and Nair, two affiliates were awarded international Rhodes Scholarships: Chen for Rhodes’ China constituency and […]

  • To fend off the worst impacts of climate change, “we have to decarbonize, and do it even faster,” said William H. Green, director of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and Hoyt C. Hottel Professor, MIT Department of Chemical Engineering, at MITEI’s Annual Research Conference. “But how the heck do we actually achieve this goal when […]

  • Have you ever spent hours (or even days) painstakingly creating 3D models, only to feel like the creative process gets bogged down in tedious technical details? As someone with experience using Blender for projects, you’re not alone! Time-consuming workflows are a common pain point for designers and developers. In fact, the average 3D model creation […]

  • I was raised by a mother who believes in and pursues Collective Liberation, and a grandma that learned what that means, bit by bit, from both of us. Collective Liberation to my mother, is every little thing that must change for everyone to get free. It involves naming and understanding what has happened and a […]
