MIT researchers have developed a technique that enables real-time, 3D monitoring of corrosion, cracking, and other material failure processes inside a nuclear reactor environment. This could allow engineers and scientists to design safer nuclear reactors that also deliver higher performance for applications like electricity generation and naval vessel propulsion. DuringContinue Reading
Pennsylvania lawmakers have been at an impasse on clean energy legislation for years. The lone exception—a $25 million bill to put rooftop solar on schools—strikes some as a blueprint for breaking through, but others see it as a one-off. By Kyle Bagenstose In Carlisle, a sleepy town in the heartContinue Reading
