An analysis of the 2011 nuclear accident reveals a need for more preparation, training, and protocols for responding to low-probability accidents.

MIT researchers show that using the right metals could alleviate the corrosion problem in these promising new reactor designs.

Detailed study of magnets built by MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems confirms they meet requirements for an economic, compact fusion power plant.

An MIT team precisely controlled an ultrathin magnet at room temperature, which could enable faster, more efficient processors and computer memories.

The method lets researchers identify and control larger numbers of atomic-scale defects, to build a bigger system of qubits.

Fusion’s success as a renewable energy depends on the creation of an industry to support it, and academia is vital to that industry’s development.

The work demonstrates control over key properties leading to better performance.

The approach directly converts the greenhouse gas into formate, a solid fuel that can be stored indefinitely and could be used to heat homes or power industries.

MIT researchers show how topology can help create magnetism at higher temperatures.

MIT researchers develop a protocol to extend the life of quantum coherence.
