White and Selin will lead a new faculty committee to drive MIT's climate action plan over the next three years.

System could reclaim pure water from power plant cooling towers; at-scale prototypes tested on MIT facilities have proven effective.

A longstanding interest in radiation’s effects on metals has drawn Michael Short into new areas such as nuclear security and microreactors. Michael Short came to MIT in the fall of 2001 as an 18-year-old first-year who grew up in Boston’s North Shore....

With a nuclear energy startup and cost-modeling tool, Robbie Stewart aims to speed construction of new plants for decarbonizing the economy If nuclear energy is to play a pivotal role in securing a low-carbon future, researchers must not only develop a new...

Jacopo Buongiorno and others say factory-built microreactors trucked to usage sites could be a safe, efficient option for decarbonizing electricity systems.

Whether testing high-field fusion magnets or his own physical endurance, Theo Mouratidis pushes the limits.

NSE’s Mike Short and a team of MIT scholars are helping to solve the economic, cultural, and political dimensions of the world’s energy and climate challenges.

NSE faculty, alums discussed benefits and challenges of MIT–industry research collaborations targeting technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at a recent MIT symposium on climate action.

Trainer is one of four graduate students selected for the fellowship in 2022. The Rickover Fellowship Program in Nuclear Engineering assists in preparing students for roles in naval nuclear propulsion and will support the broader objective of advancing fission energy development through...
