During discharge, liquid bromine is reduced to hydrobromic acid along the lower solid graphite electrode, and hydrogen is oxidized at the upper porous electrode. MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. Credit: Braff et al. Click to enlarge.

The defeat devices were allegedly installed on 630,000 engines in 2013 to 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, according to a Justice Department press release. A 2017 MIT study estimated that the excess emissions produced by VW diesels caused 1,200 premature deaths. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

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.
