3D printing
An innovative approach to additive manufacturing of multimaterial glass items precludes the need for costly high-temperature processing techniques.
A schematic showing links between small uncrewed aerial vehicles and ground vehicles.
sensing
Combined quantum networking and lasercom optical signaling techniques could impact advanced sensing applications such as geolocation with distributed systems.

climate
With MIT AeroAstro, we are developing forecasts and decision support tools to aid air traffic controllers in avoiding the formation of persistent contrails, which are increasingly considered to have a substantial impact on climate warming.

climate
Deploying large networks of ground-based methane detectors could help detect pipeline leaks, improve climate models, and regulate emission sources.
A schematic showing the Earth with many satellite links.
satellite communications (SATCOM)
Large constellations of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) allow for unparalleled global coverage but require new networking approaches.
A prototype reflectarray faces a feed horn in an anechoic chamber.
communications
A low-cost, reconfigurable radio receiver architecture provides an alternative approach to filter out unwanted transmissions in millimeter-wave (MMW) signals.
