New tool empowers pavement life-cycle decision-making while reducing data c...

MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub

Despite their importance and impact, there are often scarce data for evaluating the environmental impact of roads across their whole life cycle, from producing raw materials through demolition. The MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub’s streamlined framework reduces the overall data collection burden by up to 85 percent.

Propelling atomically layered magnets toward green computers

The flow of electrical current in the bottom crystalline slab (representing WTe2) breaks a mirror symmetry (shattered glass), while the material itself breaks the other mirror symmetry (cracked glass). The resulting spin current has vertical polarization that switches the magnetic state of the top 2D ferromagnet.

Lessons from Fukushima: Prepare for the unlikely

A new study maps how the Fukushima Dai’ichi nuclear accident unfolded, and points to the importance of mitigation measures and last lines of defense. Here, International Atomic Energy Agency experts visit Fukushima Dai’ichi Nuclear Power Plant Unit 4 in 2013.

MIT Energy Initiative

Postdoc Weiyue Zhou (left) and Associate Professor Michael Short attach a novel test chamber containing a metal sample and salt to the end of a proton accelerator. Experiments to date show that proton irradiation decreases the rate of corrosion in certain metal alloys — potentially good news for designers of promising nuclear power reactors that rely on molten salts, which tend to be highly corrosive.
