A team of researchers at MIT is developing and testing a new silicon carbide (SiC) cladding material for nuclear fuel rods that could reduce the risk of hydrogen production by roughly a thousandfold compared to the common zircaloy cladding. SiC is “ very promising, but not at the moment ready for adoption ” by the nuclear industry, he adds.

A new desalination process developed by engineers at MIT could treat produced water—deep water, often heavily laden with salts and minerals—from natural gas wells at relatively low cost. The research is the work of a team including MIT postdoc Prakash Narayan, mechanical engineering professor John H.

I was interested in the design and operation of airplanes and spacecraft.” People were really interested in clean air and clean water, so I decided there would always be interest in the environment,” Crawford says. Although it was designed for a life of 18 months, the mission operated successfully for 16 years.
