Pricing carbon, valuing people

    Description

    New research suggests ways to optimize US climate policy design for a just energy transition

    Mark Dwortzan | MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change

    An MIT Joint Program study published in Energy Economics in 2022 shows how U.S. climate policies can be designed to cut carbon emissions without inflicting economic harm on low-income households and the nation as a whole. This new video was produced by the Basque Center for Climate Change.

    Watch the video here.

    Read the news story on the study here.

    A new way to watch heat move through electronics

    MIT News
    To measure how heat moves through materials, MIT researchers use laser pulses (red) to heat a sample while ultrafast X-rays (purple) penetrate multiple material layers and measure changes as heat dissipates.

    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.
