NSE collaborative research on molten salt corrosion shows that controlling one-dimensional wormhole corrosion could help advance power plant designs

MIT Leaders for Global Operations’ collaboration with the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering trains leaders for a rapidly evolving industry.

For the bulk of his years as a nuclear engineer, Jacopo Buongiorno has had a career filled with success, though it might also be called conventional in certain respects. Buongiorno, the TEPCO Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE), earned his PhD...

Assil Halimi has always loved science since he was a child, but it was a singular experience at a college internship that stoked his interest in nuclear engineering. As part of work on a conceptual design for an aircraft electric propulsion system,...

Using lasers, NSE's Ju li, Paola Cappellaro, Haowei Xu and other researchers can directly control a property of nuclei called spin, that can encode quantum information.

Senior Research Scientist, Richard Lanza, was elected an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Fellow &Mdash; an honor annually bestowed on just one-tenth of one percent of the members of what’s called “the world’s largest technical professional organization.”

NSE’s Mike Short and a team of researchers designed a tool that enables faster measurements of the condition of some nuclear reactor components, potentially extending their lifetimes.

Nominated by the Division of Physics, it is the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education”
