How the Universe got its magnetic field
By studying the dynamics of plasma turbulence, MIT researchers are solving one of the mysteries of the origins of cosmological magnetic fields.
Using excess heat to improve electrolyzers and fuel cells
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...
MIT announces five flagship projects in first-ever Climate Grand Challenges competition
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.

Seeing an elusive magnetic effect through the lens of machine learning
MIT researchers discovered hidden magnetic properties in multi-layered electronic material by analysing polarized neutrons using neural networks. Superconductors have long been considered the principal approach for realizing electronics without resistivity. In the past decade, a new family of quantum materials, “topological materials,”...
Mining valuable insights from diamonds
If Changhao Li were to trace the origins of his love of nature, he would point to the time when he was nine, observing the night sky from his childhood home in the small town of Jinan, China. “At that moment I...
Finding her way to fusion
“I catch myself startling people in public.” Zoe Fisher’s animated hands carry part of the conversation as she describes how her naturally loud and expressive laughter turned heads in the streets of Yerevan. There during MIT’s Independent Activities period (IAP), she was...
Toward batteries that pack twice as much energy per pound
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.
Two NSE projects among 27 finalists in first-ever MIT Climate Grand Challenges
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.
