Now, an MIT spin-off says it has found a solution in an innovative technology that could dramatically reduce the costs and timelines of drilling to fantastic depths. Invented by Soviet scientists in the 1960s , gyrotons are used in nuclear fusion research experiments to heat and control plasma. Quaise Energy , based in Cambridge, Mass.,

Brandon Sorbom , the scientific director of Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) , leads me toward the center of the building’s cross-shaped footprint, weaving among scaffolding, forklifts, and teams of welders and painters. On the site of a former U.S. Army Reserve base near Boston, an unusual structure is rising from the rolling hills.

Its story began a decade earlier, in 1997, at the MIT Media Lab , when it was created by two students, J.D. Black-and-white electronic ink is a straightforward fusion of chemistry, physics, and electronics, and it does pretty much what traditional ink and paper does. From the very beginning, e-paper seemed magical.

Missouri S&T will combine a novel additive manufacturing technique, called ceramic on-demand extrusion, and ceramic fusion welding techniques to manufacture very high temperature heat exchangers for power cycles with intense heat sources. MIT will develop a high performance, compact, and durable ceramic heat exchanger.
