Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact - MIT News
MIT News explores the environmental and sustainability implications of generative AI technologies and applications.

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.

A new approach could fractionate crude oil using much less energy
MIT engineers developed a membrane that filters the components of crude oil by their molecular size, an advance that could dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed for crude oil fractionation.

Startup turns mining waste into critical metals for the U.S.
Phoenix Tailings, co-founded by MIT alumni, is creating new domestic supply chains for the rare earth metals and other critical materials needed for the clean energy transition.

Energy | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Recovering from the past and transitioning to a better energy future In MIT Energy Initiative speaker series, Princeton Professor Emily Carter explains the importance of climate change mitigation in the energy transition.

Engineers develop an efficient process to make fuel from carbon dioxide
An efficient new process can convert carbon dioxide into formate, a material that can be used like hydrogen or methanol to power a fuel cell and generate electricity.

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.

A new heat engine with no moving parts is as efficient as a steam ...
When the energy is needed, such as on overcast days, TPV cells would convert the heat into electricity, and dispatch the energy to a power grid. With the new TPV cell, the team has now successfully demonstrated the main parts of the system in separate, small-scale experiments.

Surprisingly diverse innovations led to dramatically cheaper solar ...
A new study reveals key innovations that contributed to the rapid decline of solar energy systems, showing that many of the most significant technological advances came from outside the solar sector. This work could help businesses, researchers, and policymakers identify optimal areas for future investment.

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 ...
