A new heat engine with no moving parts is as efficient as a steam turbine

A thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell (size 1 cm x 1 cm) mounted on a heat sink designed to measure the TPV cell efficiency. To measure the efficiency, the cell is exposed to an emitter and simultaneous measurements of electric power and heat flow through the device are taken.

New England renewables + Canadian hydropower

MIT Energy Initiative

“Hydropower is a more-than-hundred-year-old technology, and plants are already built up north,” says Emil Dimanchev SM ’18. “We might not need to build something new. We might just need to use those plants differently or to a greater extent.”

Toward batteries that pack twice as much energy per pound

These discs were used for testing the researchers’ processing method for solid-electrolyte batteries. On the left, a sample of the solid electrolyte itself, a material known as LLPO. At center, the same material coated with the cathode material used in their tests. At right, the LLPO material with a coating of gold, used to facilitate measuring its electrical properties.
