June 22, 2009 Cutting CO2 emissions from existing coal plantsProfessor Ernest Moniz, director of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and former undersecretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, today unveiled a report on reducing carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal plants. June 19, 2009 International Engineering Systems Symposium addresses complex, large-scale challengesA capacity audience from academia, industry and government from around the world filled MIT's Wong Auditorium for the International Engineering Systems Symposium on Monday, June 15, the first day of the three-day event. June 17, 2009 Taking the heat offMIT engineers looked to the design of a living cell as they sought ways to dissipate heat in tiny electromechanical systems. June 16, 2009 Engineers slow concrete creep to a crawlMIT civil engineers have for the first time identified what causes concrete to gradually deform, decreasing its durability and shortening the lifespan of infrastructures such as bridges and nuclear waste containment vessels.
