Boston Metal, an MIT spinout, is commercializing an innovative method for producing steel and other metals, aiming to reduce emissions in this high-pollution industry. Steelmaking is crucial to global industries, but its current processes are highly detrimental to the climate, contributing approximately seven to nine percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. To address this issue, former … Read more
Mars is slowly collecting artifacts from human exploration. Thanks to the powerful camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which looks for signs of past water and monitors changes on the planet, we can see these artifacts clearly. Recently, the orbiter took pictures of NASA’s retired InSight lander, now getting covered in desert dust. NASA shared … Read more
