Rare earth elements sustain the Information Age, and securing a supply of these metals has become a matter of national and economic security. 

A flight corridor for testing drones and electric aircraft will link the University of Michigan’s one-of-a-kind autonomy research and proving ground facilities in Ann Arbor to Michigan Central’s real-world, urban testbed and innovation district in Detroit.

Electrical and computer engineers want to mimic the brain’s visual system to create AI tools for guiding autonomous systems.

An international team of researchers including physicists here in Durham have made a breakthrough that could help make our phones and computers faster and more energy efficient.

For the first time, solar was the largest source of electricity in the EU last month, supplying a record 22 percent of the bloc’s power.

By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance of two important industrial enzymes — and created a user-friendly, fast process to improve many more.

A Rutgers-led team of scientists has developed an eco-friendly, very stable, ultra-bright material and used it to generate deep-blue light (emission at ~450 nm) in a light-emitting diode (LED), an energy-efficient device at the heart of all major lighting systems.

The modern world is built with concrete: Humans use more concrete annually than any other material besides water. Yet cement, the key component of concrete, is the source of as much as 10% of all carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.

The MIT Energy Initiative’s annual research symposium explores artificial intelligence as both a problem and a solution for the clean energy transition.
