The fastest Lamborghini in its history gets a performance boost from a supercapacitor developed by MIT.
The fastest Lamborghini in its history receives a performance boost from a super capacitor developed by MIT. Lamborghini worked with researchers from MIT to develop its new supercapacitor technology. In contrast to lithium batteries, which store energy in chemical form, capacitors store electricity in an electrical field - like the static collection of energy from a balloon. Supercapacitors [...]

MIT engineers build advanced microprocessors from carbon nanotubes.
MIT engineers build advanced microprocessors from carbon nanotubes. The new approach uses the same manufacturing processes as silicon chips and offers decisive advances in the development of next-generation computers. After years of overcoming numerous design and manufacturing challenges, MIT researchers have developed a modern microprocessor made from carbon nanotube transistors that is widely recognized as a faster, more environmentally friendly alternative to their [...]
