A review of the environmental impacts of meat and meat alternatives
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Awareness of the personal impacts individuals have on the environment is increasing in the United States. There are many different trends in the perception of how individuals can reduce their environmental impact. Examples ...
Digital metal printing by in-flight melting of individual microparticles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Additive manufacturing (AM) of metal components has the potential to impact an immense range of applications and industries, but each metal AM process has key capabilities and limitations that will define its ultimate ...
Container removal and replacement automation : design and development of robotic work cells for warehouse automation

Amazon has grown at a rapid pace. In 2018, Amazon retail sales amounted to $141.92B, up 19.7% from the previous year. The number of units shipped through its Prime program alone grew by 20% from 5 billion the previous year ...
A model for the dig-in instability in serial sectioning and iterative orthogonal cutting
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Microtome serial sectioning is a key part of building brain maps of neurological tissue, which are made by serially cutting resin-embedded brain tissue into thin sections, followed by imaging on an electron microscope; ...
Slip clutch design for position sensitive systems in marine environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) requested a two-axis pan tilt mechanism be designed, built, and tested for shipboard deployment of a sensor payload. Of paramount consideration to this design was the robustness of the ...
Design and build of artificial blood vessels with variable compliance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
To more accurately recreate hemodynamic conditions in a benchtop circulatory simulator, it is important to develop artificial blood vessels with tunable mechanical characteristics. These vessels simulate the varying ...
Data driven manufacturing risk assessment for turbine engine programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Waste and uncertainty can be managed at all levels of a production process from a program level down to a single step in a manufacturing cell, and is done by assessing risk. Risk is defined as uncertainty in the ability ...
