Powering through the coming energy transition

According to more than half of the models cited in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report, carbon capture and storage will be required to realize the Paris goal, but to what extent will it need to be deployed to ensure that outcome?

System can sterilize medical tools using solar heat

Researchers at MIT and the Indian Institute of Technology have come up with a way to generate the steam required by autoclaves, using just the power of sunlight, to help maintain safe, sterile equipment at low cost in remote locations.

Study identifies reasons for soaring nuclear plant cost overruns in the U.S...

A new study covering 50 years of U.S. nuclear power plant construction data found that, contrary to expectations, building plants based on existing designs actually costs more, rather than less, than building plants based on new designs. This photo shows a construction site of a new modern nuclear power plant.

Power-free system harnesses evaporation to keep items cool

MIT researchers have developed a two-layer passive cooling system, made of hydrogel and aerogel, that can keep foods and pharmaceuticals cool for days without the need for electricity. In this photo showing a close-up of the two-layer material, the upper layer consists of aerogel and the bottom layer of hydrogel.

Pushing the envelope with fusion magnets

David Fischer sits beside the experiment’s vacuum chamber (illuminated in blue), where the high temperature superconductor tapes will be mounted for proton irradiation and in situ transport current measurement. His laptop shows data obtained in such measurements — the basis for determining the critical current.

3 Questions: Fatih Birol on post-Covid trajectories in energy and climate

"Five recent emerging developments are making me increasingly optimistic about how quickly the world may shift to cleaner energy and achieve the kind of structural declines in greenhouse gas emissions that are needed to achieve international climate and sustainable energy goals," says Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency.
