To boost emissions reductions from electric vehicles, know when to charge

MIT Energy Initiative

The time of day when an electric vehicle (EV) is charged can have a large impact on reducing its emissions. In California, home to half of the EVs in the United States, charging at midday reduces EV emissions by more than 40 percent when compared to charging at night.

Want cheaper nuclear energy? Turn the design process into a game

In this AI-designed layout for a boiling water reactor, fuel rods in the assembly are ideally positioned around two fixed water rods to burn more efficiently. MIT researchers ran the equivalent of 36,000 simulations to find the optimal configuration, which could extend the life of the rods in an assembly by about 5 percent, generating $3 million in savings per year if scaled to the full reactor. Colors correspond to varying amounts of uranium and gadolinium oxide in each rod.

A cool advance in thermoelectric conversion

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

In a topological Weyl semimetal, the electronic properties are controlled by Weyl fermions, which do not possess any mass and to some extent resemble photons. When an external magnetic field is applied, these Weyl fermions are able to convert waste heat into electricity extremely effectively and efficiently.
