### AI overview

MIT researchers developed an approach to predict promising catalyst materials for electrochemical ammonia production. The method could speed the search for alloys that may help make this lower-emissions process more competitive with the fossil-fuel-dependent Haber-Bosch process.

### Source excerpt

New MIT research could lead to better materials for a fossil-fuel-free process for making the chemical that's essential to fertilizer and other products.

### AI overview

MIT professor Eugene Fitzgerald discusses his book The Invisible Engine: Why Innovation Evades Control, drawing on research programs and his experience co-inventing strained silicon. He describes innovation as an intersection of science, economics, market applications, technology, implementation, and society.

### Source excerpt

In his latest book, Professor Eugene Fitzgerald examines the forces that turn breakthroughs into value -- and why innovation resists simple formulas.
