(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The purpose of this thesis is the design and implementation of the pedal box for the 2007 MIT Formula SAE car. Formula SAE is a collegiate competition in which groups of degree seeking students design and manufacture small ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)2.672 is an undergraduate mechanical engineering laboratory course which requires students to solve real-world problems using both theoretical calculations and laboratory experiments. Many of the experiments currently in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)A new method for aligning and actuating membranes for 3D nano-assembly based on the interactions of nanomagnets has been developed. Arrays of nanopatterned magnetic material are integrated onto thin-film membranes. It is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)A microfluidic system has been developed for studying the factors inducing different responses of cells in vascular system using a three-dimensional microenvironment. The devices have been transferred from PDMS to a platform ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The internal organs are designed to move freely and slide over one another during normal body movement. The abdominal organs, however, have a tendency to adhere to the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) and other abdominal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In recent years, extensive efforts have been devoted to searching for materials with high thermoelectric (TE) efficiency above room temperature for converting heat into electricity. These efforts have led to significant ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Catalytic conversion of CO₂into useful chemicals is an attractive alternative to expensive physical carbon sequestration methods. However, this approach is challenging because current chemical conversion methods employ ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Last few years have witnessed significant enhancement of thermoelectric figure of merit of lead telluride (PbTe) via nanostructures. Despite the experimental progress, current understanding of the electron transport in ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)A method for the autonomous geolocation of ground vehicles in forest environments is presented. The method provides an estimate of the global horizontal position of a vehicle strictly based on finding a geometric match ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)To restrict the warming effects of climate change to less than a 2°C increase, we must deploy terawatts of solar photovoltaics (PV) and other renewables in the next 10-15 years -- yet, historically novel PV materials have ...
