Preparing students for the new nuclear

For his LGO internship in management and nuclear science and engineering, Santiago Andrade worked at Caterpillar in Lafayette, Indiana, where he helped the company explore the potential use of nuclear microreactors to power mining sites.

A new way to assess radiation damage in reactors

One of the most effective ways to control greenhouse gas emissions, many analysts argue, is to prolong the lifetimes of existing nuclear power plants. But doing so requires monitoring the condition of many of their critical components to ensure that damage from heat and radiation has not led, and will not lead, to unsafe cracking or embrittlement.

Ocean microbes get their diet through a surprising mix of sources, study fi...

Long thought to rely solely on photosynthesis, the microbe Prochlorococcus may get as much as one-third of its carbon through a second strategy: consuming the dissolved remains of other dead microbes.

Machine learning facilitates “turbulence tracking” in fusion reactors

A team of researchers has demonstrated the use of computer vision models to monitor turbulent structures, known as "blobs," that appear on the edge of the super-hot fuel used in controlled-nuclear-fusion research. The super-hot fuel, or plasma, is held inside a tokamak device (right photo). On the left, a "blob" highlighted in yellow is shown in a synthetic image.

Small eddies play a big role in feeding ocean microbes

This video still of the North Pacific Ocean shows phosphate nutrient concentrations at 500 meters below the ocean surface. The swirls represent small eddies transporting phosphate from the nutrient-rich equator (lighter colors), northward toward the nutrient-depleted subtropics (darker colors).
