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.

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?

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.
