Workshop explores national security repercussions of climate change

Experts assess potential global destabilization caused by climate change impacts on water supplies, land use, and migration

The Joint Program projects significant water stress in Asia by mid-century, but a combination of climate mitigation and adaptation measures, such as lowering greenhouse gas emissions and irrigating more efficiently, could reduce the severity of the problem, said Joint Program Deputy Director C. Adam Schlosser, one of several experts presenting at a recent MIT Climate Change and National Security Workshop. Read the full article here.

Solving the solvent problem

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering
A machine-learning-guided pipeline enables researchers to generate solvent candidate pools on demand, narrow the selections down, and experimentally test the most promising electrolyte recipes. These scanning electron microscopy images show the morphology of sodium-metal deposits obtained from three different electrolyte candidates.
