Energy

Clean electricity and stored heat from nuclear power and intermittent electricity from wind and solar can be efficiently converted to green hydrogen, fuels and chemicals using protonic ceramic electrolyzers with exceptional performance and stability. The reduction in the use of fossil fuels...

Co-led by NSE’s Bilge Yildez and DMSE’s Yet-Ming Chiang, The Center for Electrification and Decarbonization of Industry, unites MIT climate researchers to create scalable clean energy solutions under one roof. NSE’s Ju Li is one of sixteen collaborators who form the MIT team.

The winners of the first-ever Climate Grand Challenges will become multiyear flagship research projects, helping define a new research agenda focused on addressing complex unsolved climate problems and bringing high-impact solutions to the world on an accelerated basis.

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.
