View Article3 Questions: Putting nuclear waste into perspective
For decades, one of the major complaints about nuclear power in the United States has been the argument that, after all this time, we still have not come up with a dependable strategy for sequestering...
View ArticleAn electrochemical approach turns ammonia into pure hydrogen
As a liquid that is easily stored and transported, ammonia (NH3) is an attractive carrier for hydrogen, which is used in fuel cells, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing, and other...
View ArticleMIT researchers tackle the economic realities of fusion power
In the last decade, scientists have shown that fusion energy can work, as a physical process. Next question: Can it work economically? A study co-authored by MIT professors Dennis Whyte and Andrew W....
View ArticleSolving the solvent problem
Lithium-ion batteries are the leading choice in today’s electric vehicle and battery energy storage system industries, but they contain a number of critical minerals — including lithium, cobalt,...
View ArticleWorking to automate nuclear plant operations
For nuclear to be considered as a viable clean energy source, it has to be competitively priced and economical to produce. Lauren Fortier, a second-year doctoral student in the Department of Nuclear...
View ArticleFor energy systems that power a reliable grid, the future is all about location
Will a warming climate and changing weather patterns lead to more grid blackouts and other energy disruptions? Answering that question requires studying both regional climate forecasts and local energy...
View ArticleHow data centers can better manage energy use
The number of U.S. data centers is growing, largely to power artificial intelligence programs. That has led to concern about the environmental consequences of data centers — and their impact on the...
View ArticleMIT researchers develop a low-cost technique to get lithium out of rocks
Demand for lithium has surged in recent years as lithium-ion batteries power increasingly more of our world. And yet, even as places like the U.S., Europe, and Australia have abundant lithium resources...

The MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) showcased its high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology, essential for fusion energy and increasingly relevant to superhot geothermal...
View ArticleWorking to advance the nuclear renaissance
Today, there are 94 nuclear reactors operating in the United States, more than in any other country in the world, and these units collectively provide nearly 20 percent of the nation’s electricity....
View ArticleToward cheaper, cleaner hydrogen production
Hydrogen sits at the center of some of the world’s most important industrial processes, but its production still comes with a heavy environmental cost. Today, most hydrogen is produced through...
View ArticleWhy solid-state batteries keep short-circuiting
Batteries that use solids as their charge-carrying electrolyte could potentially be a safer and far more energy-dense alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, these solid-state batteries have...
View ArticleActive Surfaces aims to install peel-and-stick solar panels everywhere
Active Surfaces, a startup based on solar-energy technologies rooted in MIT research, is well on its way to developing what co-founder Richard Swartwout SM ’18, PhD ’21 calls “solar 2.0.” The company’s...
