MIT teams to explore novel solutions to reductions in operations and maintenance costs of advanced nuclear reactors Nuclear energy is a low-carbon energy source that is vital to decreasing carbon emissions. A critical factor in its continued viability as a future energy...

Fusion’s promise as a practical energy source has grown substantially in recent years, in large part because of novel high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials that can shrink the size and boost the performance of the extremely powerful magnets needed in fusion reactors. Realizing...

The MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering hosted a virtual Graduate Student Expo this year. The annual event showcased posters on groundbreaking research by current NSE doctoral and masters. This year’s virtual Expo provided a unique opportunity for a wider audience...

Nuclear scientists and biomedical researchers team up to investigate whether treatment with gamma radiation could make N95 masks more reusable.

After delivering novel computational methods for nuclear problems, doctoral candidate plunges into startup life Like the atomic particles he studies, Pablo Ducru seems constantly on the move, vibrating with energy. But if he sometimes appears to be headed in an unexpected direction,...

NSE’s Ben Forget one of four at MIT to oversee Institutes work as part of the consortium which includes industry, government, and academic institutions.

Fusion energy community makes unified statement on priorities in report for Department of Energy Policy Advisory Group.

System “recruits” defects that usually cause disruptions, using them to instead carry out quantum operations.

Areg Danagoulian, associate professor in the MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, has built a career around nuclear detection technology. His work has focused, among other things, on a system that could greatly improve the current process for verifying compliance of...
