NAE Regional Meeting at MIT Explores Creativity in an AI-Enabled World

A new MIT study finds that despite regional differences in climate, electricity sources, traffic, and driving patterns, electric vehicles produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions — and cost no more to own — than comparable gas-powered cars for most U.S drivers.

For most US drivers, EVs offer emissions benefits and cost savings

MIT engineers have developed a way to generate 3D photonic devices with nanoscale features, by shrinking them after fabrication. In their new study, they created devices in a variety of shapes, including helices and a shape inspired by the wing of a butterfly.

Powerful shrinking technique could enable devices that compute with light

“It’s deeply meaningful that your colleagues think enough of you to want to recognize your life’s work. This is an incredibly awe-inspiring group, and for them to feel that way is a truly special honor,” says Elazer Edelman.
