Greener ship propellers

Invention reduces the energy that foundries need to manufacture ship propeller blades by a third.

Reading robots’ minds

A new visualization system developed by MIT researchers, combines ceiling-mounted projectors with motion-capture technology and animation software to project a robot’s intentions in real time. Researchers say the system may help speed up the development of self-driving cars, package-delivering drones, and other autonomous, route-planning vehicles.
