MIT students seek to harness campus's waste heatMIT's cogeneration plant, which provides most of the electricity, heat and air conditioning for the campus, could get even more efficient if a team of students' project to harness surplus heat works as expected. July 24, 2008 Colorado School of Mines first to use nuclear energy research partnershipUnder a research partnership between the Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility at Idaho National Laboratory and MIT, a Colorado School of Mines nuclear materials irradiation experiment will be the first test conducted in the MIT Reactor. July 17, 2008 Lester addresses governors on energy innovationRichard K. Lester, MIT professor of nuclear science and engineering and director of the Industrial Performance Center, spoke on Monday at the annual meeting of the National Governors Association. July 14, 2008 Don't bank on long-term climate policy successLong-term climate change policy in the United States and abroad is likely to change very slowly, warns an MIT professor who says the lack of future flexibility argues for stronger short-term goals to reduce carbon emissions. July 11, 2008 MIT opens new 'window' on solar energyImagine windows that not only provide a clear view and illuminate rooms, but also use sunlight to efficiently help power the building. MIT engineers report a new approach to harnessing the sun's energy—at the edges of solar panels—that could allow just that. July 10, 2008 MIT Energy Initiative, Bosch to collaborate on energyAs part of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), MIT and Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, are forming an energy research collaboration to explore new materials and concepts for efficient energy conversion and storage systems. June 23, 2008 Harnessing solar energy like plants doAsk any scientist to name Earth's most abundant source of energy, and the answer comes quickly: sunlight. In one hour, the sun strikes Earth with enough energy to power the entire planet for a year. June 20, 2008 MIT prototype solar dish passes first testsA team led by MIT students this week successfully tested a prototype of what may be the most cost-efficient solar power system in the world--one team members believe has the potential to revolutionize global energy production.
