A team of researchers at MIT and Brookhaven National Laboratory have come up with a way of stabilizing the interfaces in solid-state lithium-ion batteries opens new possibilities.

Center for Electrification and Decarbonization of Industry, led by Yet-Ming Chiang and Bilge Yildiz and Decarbonizing and strengthening the global energy infrastructure using nuclear batteries, led by Jacopo Buongiorno are finalists in the Climate Grand Challenges competition launched in July 2020.

The call to action in the face of rapidly accelerating climate change is growing louder than ever. MIT’s Department of Nuclear Science & Engineering (NSE) is uniquely positioned to address this global challenge. It continues to spearhead mitigation and remediation efforts through...

NSE graduate student Abhilash Mathews is testing a simplified turbulence theory’s ability to model complex plasma phenomena using a novel machine-learning technique.

NSE PhD candidate Lucio Milanese expands a theory of turbulence to include both ionized and non-ionized fluids.

MIT engineers produce a rechargeable battery that can be woven and washed, and could provide power for fiber-based electronic devices and sensors.

Researchers argue the plant could provide multiple benefits for California, including desalinated water and clean hydrogen fuel.

Jacopo Buongiorno, Jeffrey Freidberg, Koroush Shirvan, and Dennis Whyte receve MIT Energy Initiative Seed Fund grants for their early-stage energy research projects. Awards support research to improve the efficiency, scalability, and adoption of clean energy technologies.

Bilge Yildiz’s research impacts a wide range of technologies. Her lab studies fuel cells, which convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity (and water). They study electrolyzers, which go the other way, using electricity to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen. They study...
