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.

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.
