MIT engineers designed a new surface treatment that makes boiling water more efficient. New surface treatments can save energy for systems used in many industries. At the heart of many industrial processes, including most power plants, many chemical production systems, and even cooling systems for electronics, is the energy-intensive step of boiling water or other liquids. They can significantly reduce their energy use by increasing the efficiency of the systems that heat and evaporate the water. MIT MIT stands for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a prestigious private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts that was founded in 1861. It is organized into five Schools: architecture and planning; manipulation; humanities, arts, and social sciences; management; and science. MIT’s impact includes many scientific breakthroughs and technological advances. Their stated goal is to make a better world through education, research, and innovation. ” data-gt-t...

In May, NASA scientists said the Voyager 1 spacecraft was sending back inaccurate data from its attitude control system. The mysterious error is still ongoing, according to the mission’s engineering team. Now, to find a fix, engineers are digging into decades-old manuals. Voyager 1, along with its twin Voyager 2, was launched in 1977 with a five-year design lifetime to study Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and their respective moons up close. After nearly 45 years in space, both spacecraft are still functioning. In 2012, Voyager 1 became the first man-made object to venture beyond the limits of our sun’s influence, known as the heliopause, and into interstellar space. It is now about 14.5 billion miles from Earth and sending data back from outside the solar system. “No one thought it would last that long,” Suzanne Dodd, project manager for the Voyager mission at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Insider, adding, “And here we are.” Voy...
