New MIT study points to public health challenges posed by ammonia as a marine fuel

There are no neat answers to maritime decarbonization — and making ammonia “green” won’t solve all the issues related to its use as a marine fuel. In a new study, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and elsewhere caution that burning ammonia for maritime fuel could worsen air quality further and lead to devastating public health impacts, unless it is adopted alongside strengthened emissions regulations.

Ammonia combustion generates nitrous...

World’s Deepest Hole Digger That Could Power The Entire Planet

Credit: via Yahoo

The founder of Quaise Energy claims that the overall energy content of the heat stored below exceeds our planet’s annual energy requirement by a factor of a billion, as reported by the Independent.

Renewable energy

According to its designers, a machine that can dig the deepest hole in the world would be able to liberate enough renewable energy to power the entire planet.

In order to access “inexhaustible renewable energy” from geothermal heat in the crust, a US-based company...

Walmart associates offered free MIT supply chain management course

MIT kicked off a session of its online SCM course for Walmart associates.

While working in strategic sourcing for a Canadian metal mining company, Laura Allegue sought to further her professional education. 

“I Googled: ‘Which is the best [supply chain management] program in the world?’ and I found the MicroMasters program,” Allegue said in an interview with FreightWaves.

She soon enrolled in MIT’s Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL) online MicroMasters program in supply chain management (SCM), which is designed to “educate the world for free” by providing...

Treasury FXR struggles with realities of manipulation, DLT and the US payments system

Treasury FXR struggles with realities of manipulation, DLT and the US payments system

Commentary: Currency manipulation realities

By Mark Sobel in Washington

Under the Bush and Obama administrations, foreign exchange reports didn’t label any country a currency manipulator. Yet, the US Treasury Department has just named Switzerland and Vietnam as such. While its latest FXR includes valuable analysis about responses to Covid-19, its mechanistic application of ‘enhanced analysis’ criteria leads to...

The Daily Dash: What’s next for XPO and Brad Jacobs?

XPO to split into separate companies

The Daily Dash is a quick look at what is happening in the freight ecosystem. In today’s edition, Brad Jacobs built XPO into one of the world’s largest logistics companies, but now that the company is splitting in two, what does that mean for Jacobs? Plus, Transport America believes it has a strategy to build for the future and U.S. Xpress and MIT are joining forces to improve driver efficiency.

Farewell tour?

Brad Jacobs built XPO Logistics and now he plans to split the company into two. Will...

Commentary: MIT’s Sheffi — a profile in supply chain, innovation and technology

The views expressed here are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of FreightWaves or its affiliates.

I am very excited to bring readers of FreightWaves a profile of Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Yossi Sheffi. I first discovered him for myself in 2016, while I was still in the early stages of formulating an investment thesis about early stage technology and supply chain. He has authored 6 books, all of which I own.

Then I saw him speak in April...

Cough Detecting Tool Identifies Asymptomatic COVID, 97% Accurate

According to a Science Alert article written by David Neil, a group of MIT researchers has found a way out of the biggest problem in the pandemic, that of detecting the virus in asymptomatic people.

These scientists from MIT have invented a device, a kind of virus detector that works on everyone, even on the asymptomatic.

AI-Enabled System Detecting Cough

Part of the challenge in controlling the coronavirus pandemic is in identifying and isolating infected people quickly – not particularly easy...

MIT Develops COVID19 Virus Killing Heat Masks

A team of researchers from MIT now hopes to go one step further than conventional masks that filter out viruses and create a mask that inactivates viruses using heat, reports Anne Trafton from MIT for an article published in SciTech Daily. 

Virus Inactivating Masks

Face masks have been shown to be effective at filtering out viruses such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus, thereby reducing the risk of infection. A team of researchers from MIT now hopes to go one step further and create a mask that...
