The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (Masdar Institute) was a graduate level, research-oriented university focused on alternative energies, sustainability, and environmental research

Using graphene as a copy machine to enable higher-performing semiconductor materials

Engineers use graphene as a “copy machine” to produce cheaper semiconductor wafers. In 2016, annual global semiconductor sales reached their highest-ever point, at $339 billion worldwide. In that same year, the semiconductor industry spent about $7.2 billion worldwide on wafers that serve as the substrates for microelectronics components, which can be turned into transistors, light-emitting

Sponge creates steam using ambient sunlight – implications for desalination, wastewater treatment, residential water heating

Bubble-wrapped structure requires no mirrors or lenses to focus the sun’s heat How do you boil water? Eschewing the traditional kettle and flame, MIT engineers have invented a bubble-wrapped, sponge-like device that soaks up natural sunlight and heats water to boiling temperatures, generating steam through its pores. The design, which the researchers call a “solar

Six degrees of mobilisation

To what extent can social networking make it easier to find people and solve real-world problems? IN 1967 Stanley Milgram, an American social scientist, conducted an experiment in which he sent dozens of packages to random people in Omaha, Nebraska. He asked them to pass them on to acquaintances who would, in turn, pass them
