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...

N95 Like Reusable Silicon Masks Is the Answer To PPE Shortage

A prototype of the iMASC, a new silicone mask that can be safely reused without fear of contamination.

As the pandemic rages, nurses and doctors have gone to creative extremes to reuse the same masks, gloves, and scrubs they need to treat contagious coronavirus patients. But if a prototype mask created by researchers proves widely effective, it may be a safer alternative for health care workers and that’s what researchers at MIT are trying to do so, reports CNN.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston have...

[Watch] Corona Alert! Apps To Trace Contacts While Preserving Privacy!

  • New apps from the likes of MIT, Google, and Apple rely on Bluetooth to automate the contact-tracing process, which health care professionals use to notify people who may have come into contact with a COVID-19 patient.
  • The idea is to proactively trace individuals’ movements so that if the person does eventually test positive, there’s a definitive way to track their previous whereabouts–and who else was nearby at the time.
  • While sound in theory, these apps will only work if a broad swath of the...

Συνεργασία Oldendorff-MIT για τον σχεδιασμό καινοτόμων πλοίων

Στην προσπάθεια της να καταστήσει τα πλοία της φιλικότερα προς το περιβάλλον και πιο αποδοτικά, η Oldendorff Carriers υπέγραψε μια συμφωνία για την πραγματοποίηση έρευνας σε συνεργασία με το Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) του Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT). Η Oldendorff, μαζί με το CBA αλλά και άλλους συνεργάτες του ΜΙΤ όπως το Sea Grant Program, πρόκειται να διερευνήσουν επαναστατικές βελτιώσεις στο σχεδιασμό πλοίων και στα συστήματα πρόωσης, προκειμένου να καλυφθούν οι...
