New experiments rule out the concern that neutron irradiation might cause problems during the operation of a nuclear fusion power plant.

Driven to solve hard problems, MIT Associate Professor Zachary Hartwig is advancing a new approach to nuclear fusion power plants.

A comprehensive study of high-temperature superconducting magnets built by MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems confirms they meet requirements for an economic, compact fusion power plant.

MIT faculty Adam Belay, Irmgard Bischofberger, Matteo Bucci, Luca Carlone, Manya Ghobadi, Zachary Hartwig, Admir Masic, Stefanie Mueller, Koroush Shirvan, Julian Shun, and Zachary Smith have been granted tenure in six units across MIT's School of Engineering.

MIT Nuclear Systems Design Project students tackle the real problem of bringing small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) technology to campus.

Zoe Fisher, a doctoral student in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering and the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT, is studying how defects in ceramics form during radiation damage, toward designing a more practical ceramic that can insulate the inside of fusion power plants.

Following a student-led nomination process, 23 MIT faculty have been selected as the newest honorees for the Committed to Caring award. These professors were selected for their genuine dedication to student mentorship and well-being.
