Surrounding a doughnut-shaped vacuum chamber, a 3-meter-tall stack of high-temperature superconducting magnets will create a powerful magnetic field to squeeze and corral a swirling, superheated mass of hydrogen plasma. In 2015, Mumgaard huddled with a group of his fellow MIT researchers to rethink the approach to fusion power.

The new MIT proces converts furfural into GVL via a series of cascading (domino-like) reactions catalyzed by zeolites with Lewis and Brønsted acid sites. The new MIT production method, described in the June 11 issue of the journal Angewandte Chemie , eliminates both of those obstacles. Credit: Bui et al. Click to enlarge.

A team of researchers at MIT has described a framework for efficiently coupling the power output of a series-connected string of single-band-gap solar cells to an electrochemical process that produces storable fuels. The original demonstration leaf in 2011 had low efficiencies, converting less than 4.7%
