Developing innovative alternatives to conventional carbon capture methods
Carbon capture is an important climate change mitigation strategy, but it faces technological barriers and can be energy-intensive and expensive. To help make necessary advances in this area, a team of MIT researchers, with support from the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium (MCSC), are exploring energy-efficient and scalable alternatives toContinue Reading
Witcher 3 on a phone is cool. What it means for PCs is not
Somebody built a desktop “PC” out of a gaming phone. It’s a cool little project. The modder basically disassembled a powerful Android phone, strapped on an enclosure and cooler setup, and connected it to an external monitor. It runs a native Linux desktop on Android.

This strange “spacetime crystal” can suddenly become a black hole
Physics allows for black holes far smaller than the enormous objects typically found at the centers of galaxies or created when massive stars collapse. Under the right conditions, microscopic black holes could also form when spacetime enters an unusual critical state and organizes into a repeating, crystal-like pattern. Researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt and TUContinue Reading
