- Researchers at MIT have developed a coating that could stop the buildup of hydrate ices that slow or block oil and gas flow. These hydrates are potentially explosive and are largely responsible for the initial failure to contain the oil spill that rocked the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.

- Description
- Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a soft robotic cube that uses a series of spring-loaded metal tongues to jump, bounce, and roll. In this video, we watch the process of building a cube in just one minute. (Learn more: http://www.csail.mit.edu/soft_robotic_jumping_cube).
In future work, the jumping mechanism will be improved in order to launch the robot higher and farther than is possible with the current design. With some lightweight payloads, such as miniature cameras and other sensors, this robot can be used for various tasks such as search and rescue, surveillance, and exploration.
