Understanding how plants use sunlight - MIT News Professor Gabriela S Schlau-Cohen (center) and graduate students Raymundo Moya (left) and Wei Jia Chen worked with collaborators at the University of Verona, Italy, to develop a new understanding of the mechanisms by which plants reject excess energy they absorb from sunlight so it doesn’t harm key proteins The insights gained could one day lead to critically needed increases in yields of
MIT engineers create an energy-storing supercapacitor from ancient . . . MIT engineers created a carbon-cement supercapacitor that can store large amounts of energy Made of just cement, water, and carbon black, the device could form the basis for inexpensive systems that store intermittently renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy
New facility to accelerate materials solutions for fusion energy The new Schmidt Laboratory for Materials in Nuclear Technologies (LMNT) at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center accelerates fusion materials testing using cyclotron proton beam irradiation, advancing fusion energy, nuclear power, and clean energy research at MIT
Using liquid air for grid-scale energy storage - MIT News Liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost solution for ensuring a reliable power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon-free yet intermittent energy sources, according to a new model from MIT researchers
Confronting the AI energy conundrum - MIT News The MIT Energy Initiative #039;s annual research spring symposium explored artificial intelligence as both a problem and solution for the clean energy transition
A new heat engine with no moving parts is as efficient as a steam . . . Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a heat engine with no moving parts Their new demonstrations show that it converts heat to electricity with over 40 percent efficiency — a performance better than that of traditional steam turbines
New fuel cell could enable electric aviation - MIT News MIT engineers developed a fuel cell that offers more than three times as much energy per pound compared to lithium-ion batteries Powered by a reaction between sodium metal and air, the device could be lightweight enough to enable the electrification of airplanes, trucks, or ships
