MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center to establish the Schmidt Laboratory for Materials in Nuclear Technologies.

Zack Cordero’s research focuses on extending the lifespan of reusable rockets, while simultaneously reducing the risk of catastrophic failure.

Using 3D fabrication, researchers develop novel nuclear materials that optimize both accident tolerance and performance.

At relatively balmy temperatures, heat behaves like sound when moving through graphite, study reports.

Growing material directly onto substrates and recycling chip patterns should enable faster, simpler manufacturing.

Membrane material’s properties could guide design of flexible body armor, new study suggests.

Device made from flexible, inexpensive materials could power large-area electronics, wearables, medical devices, and more.

Theoretical analysis distinguishes observed “holes” from the huge list of hypothetically possible ones.

First measurement of its kind could provide stepping stone to practical quantum computing.
