👟 MIT Engineers Innovates Sneaker Design
MIT engineers have developed a shoe model → that tailors sneakers for peak performance. Using personalized dimensions and specific shoe properties, the model predicts how certain aspects will affect a runner’s performance. The researchers simulate a person's running gait in different shoes to select the best-performing option, focusing on minimizing expended energy
While currently focused on pushing the boundaries of sneaker design, the technology also opens up possibilities for 3D printed shoes with a wider range of properties.

NASA’s history-making Ingenuity Mars Helicopter → has ended its mission at the Red Planet.
The historic journey of Ingenuity, the first aircraft on another planet, has come to end,
said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
That remarkable helicopter flew higher and farther than we ever imagined and helped NASA do what we do best – make the impossible, possible. Through missions like Ingenuity, NASA is paving the way for future flight in our solar system and smarter, safer human exploration to Mars and beyond.

Enthusiasts like running Doom on the most unusual devices, but a graduate student from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has outdone them all - she ran the game on E. coli →
The game's graphics were turned into black and white pixels, and these pixels were then put into action through the activation of fluorescent proteins in the bacteria.
While working on the study, it was found out that it takes about 70 minutes for the complete process of outputting an image to a cellular display, and 8.33 hours to return to its original state. This means that it would take 599 years to run Doom on cells, according to this simulation.

🏍️ MIT Unveils Hydrogen-Powered Motorcycle
The MIT Electric Vehicle Team has created a unique hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric motorcycle → from a gutted Ducati 900SS. The team's goal is to advance "small hydrogen" vehicle technology and inspire others to explore this clean fuel source.
The team is curating a guidebook to document the step-by-step process of building the hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric motorcycle from scratch, у nabling enthusiasts to construct their own versions. In line with MIT's commitment to open-source innovation, the platform allows for swappable parts and encourages others to develop their own versions using freely available plans.
The team recently showcased their creation at CES 2024, with plans to present at the World Hydrogen Summit in the Netherlands in May 2024.
