Associate Professor Michael Short's innovative approach can be seen in the two nuclear science and engineering courses he’s transformed.

Emeritus professor’s contributions over a span of seven decades advanced nuclear waste disposal and fuel cycle development Michael J. Driscoll, emeritus professor of nuclear science and engineering, recognized for his leadership in research and devotion to mentorship and education, died peacefully on...

Koroush Shirvan, Ben Forget and other MIT researchers show that deep reinforcement learning can be used to design more efficient nuclear reactors.

A quantum effect in ‘topological semimetals’ demonstrated by MIT researchers could allow for the utilization of an untapped energy source. More than two-thirds of the energy used worldwide is ultimately ejected as “waste heat.” Within that reservoir of discarded energy lies a...

Analysis points to ways engineering strategies could be reimagined to minimize delays and other unanticipated expenses.
