Glass masonry Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 2024-09-23 | A team of MIT engineers are developing a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. Using a custom 3D glass printing technology provided by MIT spinoff Evenline, the team has made strong, multilayered glass bricks, each in the shape of a figure eight, that are designed to interlock, much like LEGO bricks. (Learn more: https://news.mit.edu/2024/engineers-3d-print-sturdy-glass-bricks-building-structures-0920)In mechanical testing, a single glass brick withstood pressures similar to that of a concrete block. As a structural demonstration, the researchers constructed a wall of interlocking glass bricks. They envision that 3D-printable glass masonry could be reused many times over as recyclable bricks for building facades and internal walls.

Helping people with amputation walk naturally Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 2024-07-01 | A new prosthesis, driven by the nervous system, helps people with amputation walk naturally.

The World at MIT: Yasheng Huang Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 2024-06-05 | Yasheng Huang intended to return and contribute to society in his native country after studying abroad. Following the Chinese government’s violent crackdown in Tiananmen Square in 1989, however, Yasheng decided to stay in the United States and became increasingly interested in international issues and economics. He currently holds the Epoch Foundation Professorship of Global Economics and Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management and is Faculty Director of the MIT-China Program.“The World at MIT” videos underscore MIT’s distinctive nature as a community that is at once profoundly American and deeply connected to the world. In brief, three-minute interviews, faculty members recount the experiences and circumstances that drew them here and how and why they came to adopt MIT as their professional home.Global MIT: https://global.mit.edu/Yasheng Huang: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/faculty/directory/yasheng-huangWatch more videos from MIT: http://www.youtube.com/user/MITNewsOffice?sub_confirmation=1The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Algorithm helps forecast frequency of extreme weather Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) 2024-03-26 | By combining machine learning with dynamical systems theory, a team at MIT have now developed a method to "correct" the predictions from coarse climate models. The team’s approach “nudges” a climate model’s simulations into more realistic patterns over large scales. (Learn more: https://news.mit.edu/2024/mit-derived-algorithm-helps-forecast-frequency-extreme-weather-0326)This animation shows the evolution of storms around the northern hemisphere, as a result of a high-resolution storm model, combined with the MIT team’s corrected global climate model. The simulation improves the modeling of extreme values for wind, temperature, and humidity, which typically have significant errors in coarse scale models.Courtesy of Ruby Leung and Shixuan Zhang, PNNLWatch more videos from MIT: http://www.youtube.com/user/MITNewsOffice?sub_confirmation=1The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
