Making nuclear energy facilities easier to build and transport
At MIT, Isabel Naranjo De Candido is working on improving access to nuclear energy by scaling down reactor size and, in the case of microreactors, making them mobile enough to travel to places where they’re needed. Photo: Gretchen Ertl
Jill Rahon: Soaring high in the Army — and in research
Starting off as a junior helicopter pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Jill  Rahon deployed to Afghanistan three times. During the last one, she was an air mission commander, the  pilot who is designated to interface with the ground troops throughout the mission. Today, Rahon...
How to decarbonize the world, at scale
In her keynote at MITEI’s Annual Research Conference, Anne White stressed the urgency to “develop and scale low-carbon and zero-carbon solutions ... with a practical systems-based approach that considers efficiency, affordability, equity, and sustainability for how the world will meet its energy needs.”
Building a strong pipeline for the workforce of tomorrow
Keziah Garba, an intern at the Center for Energy Research and Training in Nigeria, says her own example illustrates the yawning gender gap in the nuclear sector. In an institution which hosts the country’s first nuclear research reactor, she is one of...
2023 Del Favero Thesis Prize
Xu will deliver the Del Favero Thesis Prize Lecture on the topic of his PhD work — optical control over nuclear degrees of freedom.
Making more magnetism possible with topology
Researchers have been working for years to understand the electron topology and magnetism in certain semimetals have been frustrated by the fact that the materials only display magnetic properties if they are cooled to just a few degrees above absolute zero. A...
Sensing and controlling microscopic spin density in materials
NSE’s Guoqing Wang, Paola Cappellaro and Ju Lishow that they may be able to develop new quantum sensors or quantum simulations by fine-tuning the spin density in some materials.
Cancelling noise for improving quantum devices
For years, researchers have tried various ways to coax quantum bits — or qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers — to remain in their quantum state for ever-longer times, a key step in creating devices like quantum sensors, gyroscopes and...
Patrick Adrian receives prestigious Fellowship in High-Energy-Density Sciences
Adrian has been awarded the Director’s Postdoctoral Fellowship in High-Energy-Density Sciences from Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico to further his study of high-energy-density physics.
Powering the future in Mongolia
Through coursework, intercollegiate collaboration, and a site visit, MIT students from classes 22.S094 (Climate and Sustainability Systems: Decarbonizing Ulaanbaatar at Scale) and 21A.S01 (Anthro-Engineering: Decarbonization at the Million-Person Scale) fuse engineering and anthropology to propose innovative energy solutions.
