| | | MIT engineers have designed a wristband that lets wearers control a robotic hand with their own movements. By moving their hands and fingers, users can direct a robot to play piano or shoot a basketball, or manipulate objects in a virtual environment. |

| | | | Opinion: Why rooftop solar in Mass. is flawed, and how to fix it // The Boston Globe |
|
|
| Professor Christopher Knittel and graduate student Fischer Espiritu Argosino make the case that in Massachusetts the "current compensation structure for the electricity produced by solar panels turns a climate solution into an inequitable cost shift that burdens many residents." They add: "The state needs to prioritize large-scale wind and solar deployment and fix how residential solar exporters are compensated…. Massachusetts has long been a clean-energy leader. It can remain one by showing that decarbonization and affordability can go hand in hand." |

| | | | A recent workshop introduced participants to Raman spectroscopy, a technique that uses laser light to "fingerprint" materials. The session, led by MIT postdoc Lamyaa Almehmadi in collaboration with the Center for Bits and Atoms, featured a robotic "dog" equipped with sensing equipment, demonstrating how the technique can be used in dangerous environments such as crime scenes or toxic industrial sites. |
