Cleaner Carbon Capture Mantel, founded by MIT alumni, has developed a system that captures carbon dioxide from factories and power plants while delivering steam to customers. Its approach uses just 3 percent of the net energy of today’s best carbon-capture systems.  Full story via MIT News → Top Headlines Ultrasonic device dramatically speeds harvesting of water from the air The system can be paired with any atmospheric water harvesting material to shake out drinking water in minutes instead of hours. Full story via MIT News → Tess Smidt focuses on the means rather than the ends The associate professor of physics develops computational tools to solve a broad swath of problems.

In college, Jossou learned about the power of energy harnessed from nuclear reactors and set his sights on developing technology that could be adopted in African societies, recalling the frequent energy shortages that would take place in Nigeria. Jossou is now the John Clark Hardwick Assistant Professor in the Nuclear Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science departments at MIT, a place he feels one can “do the research that you care about.” Watch the video→ This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by a brief history of MIT. 🏛️ Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day! —MIT News Forward This Email Subscribe This email was sent to rh3252705.pese@blogger.com because of your affiliation with MIT, or because you signed up for our newsletters. subscribe update preferences unsubscribe view in browser MIT News Office · 77 Massachusetts Avenue · Cambridge, MA 02139 · USA
