February 26, 2025 - July 17, 2025Hidden within MIT’s Distinctive Collections, many architectural elements from the earliest days of the Institute’s architecture program still survive as part of the Rotch Art Collection. Among the artworks that conservators salvaged was a set of striking windows of gypsum and stained-glass, dating to the late 18th- to 19th c. Ottoman Empire. This exhibition illuminates the life of these historic windows, tracing their refracted histories from Egypt to MIT, their ongoing conservation, and the cutting-edge research they still prompt.The Maihaugen Gallery (14N-130) is open Monday through Thursday, 10am - 4pm, excluding Institute holidays.

The energy transition is no longer enough: Transformation, intervention, and adaptationThis event is for the MIT Community. Please register with an MIT.edu email.Please join us to hear from Emily A. Carter, the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment at Princeton University.Climate change mitigation strategies must include not only decarbonizing energy sources to eliminate new carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions but also removing substantial quantities of existing CO2 from the atmosphere. We must do so by capturing it from air or oceans, then converting and storing it for centuries. However, even in a “decarbonized” future, society will still need carbon-based products that will need to be created from waste carbon. Finally, as part of those mitigation strategies, electrifying everything else, coupled with other possible climate interventions and adaptation, is the path to sustain life on Earth.About the speakerEmily A. Carter is a distinguished scientist, leader, and educator, recognized with many honors for her pioneering contributions to quantum chemistry, materials science, sustainable energy, and carbon mitigation research. She is the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment and a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, and a professor of applied and computational mathematics at Princeton University. Carter is also a senior strategic advisor and associate laboratory director at the Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. She has held multiple leadership positions at Princeton and UCLA, and strategically serves on multiple energy- and climate-related advisory boards.About the MITEI Presents: Advancing the Energy Transition speaker seriesWe are in the midst of a major global shift in the types of energy we use and the ways we use them. We know that if we are to stabilize the planet’s climate and eliminate harmful emissions, we must transform our energy systems. This speaker series will connect you with energy experts and leaders who are actively working on the scientific, technological, and policy solutions we urgently need, and will explore how we must work together to accelerate this complicated process.
