MIT spinout Electrified Thermal Solutions, co-founded by NSE alum Dan Stack, has developed an electrically conductive firebrick that stores heat at high enough temperatures to power industrial processes.

MIT postdoctoral candidate Yu-Jou Wang won the Young Professional Thermal-Hydraulic Research Competition at the 2024 American Nuclear Society Winter Meeting. The winning paper “A Dynamic Turbulence Tracking Approach for Uncertainty Quantification of URANS CFD Models”, is co-authored with MIT’s Professor Emilio Baglietto

To recognize that up-and-coming generation, Nuclear News launched this year its 40 Under 40 as a celebration of the talented young professionals who are making great strides in every sector of the industry. Professor Koroush Shirvan, and NSE alums Aditi Verma PhD ’18 and Paul Romano PhD ’13 this...

Intro The path to meeting U.S. decarbonization goals involves ramping up the production of clean energy. Nuclear is key to these ambitions. The nuclear energy landscape is itself undergoing rapid change, dictated by updated regulations, shifting geopolitical dynamics, and newer promising reactor...

Intro Despite being the only nuclear reactor that could start construction in the next few years, the AP1000 has gained traction only in the global market and still has not found an adequate foothold in the United States. This is a shame...

Prof Ju Li along with a research team at MIT has developed a new kind of nanoscale transistor using ultrathin semiconductor materials which operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices

Nominated by the American Physical Society Forum on Physics and Society (FPS), Danagoulian was cited, “for seminal technological contributions in the field of arms control and cargo security, which significantly benefit international security.”

In the fall of 2009, when Ethan Peterson arrived at MIT as an undergraduate, he already had some ideas about possible career options. He’d always liked building things, even as a child, so he imagined his future work would involve engineering of...

Experts in energy systems modeling and fusion technology explore the future role of fusion at various costs and carbon constraints.

Prof Mike Short launched Anthro-Engineering with Prof Manduhai Buyandelger in 2021. The program provides students the opportunity for deep engagement, relationship building, and personal understanding needed to find real solutions for real people.
