The nonprofit was one of seven winners last year of MIT Solve’s Gender Equity in STEM Challenge. The MIT Solve Gender Equity in STEM Challenge thoroughly vets all applicants—their theories, practices, organizational health, and impact,” Smith says. With each concept learned, the students built a more difficult app. “It

They might be connected to coastal infrastructure or float next to consumer. Such a design, as described at the Small Modular Reactors Symposium by MIT professors Jacopo Buongiorno, Michael Golay, and Neil Todreas, along with others from MIT, the University of Wisconsin, and Chicago Bridge and Iron, could ride out tsunamis.

Their work integrates water-splitting catalysts comprising earth-abundant components with wild-type and engineered Ralstonia eutropha bacteria to generate biomass and isopropyl alcohol. Renewable-fuels generation has emphasized water splitting to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Earlier post.). —Torella et al. Click to enlarge.

The GE Research team aims to reduce operations and maintenance (O&M) costs by moving from a time- to condition-based predictive maintenance framework, using GE Hitachi’s BWRX-300 boiling water reactor as the reference design. Digital twins of MSRs will require this critical data, which is currently unavailable.

One way teachers are trying to help students grasp difficult concepts is through virtual-reality technology. In the chemistry module on acids and bases, for example, students are shown a computer-generated version of a wastewater-treatment plant in Baltimore, and they try to make chemically contaminated water safe to drink.

We demonstrate a novel interface concept in which interactive systems directly manipulate the user’s head orientation. Measuring water quality throughout river networks with precision, speed and at lower cost than traditional methods is now possible with AquaBOT, an aquatic drone developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
