The MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) announced its latest round of seed grants to support early-stage innovative energy projects. Computational tools for catalyst design: The ability to convert methane gas directly to liquid methanol at often-remote recovery sites would significantly alter the storage, transport, and use of the gas.

Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed new battery technology for the conversion of low-temperature waste heat into electricity in cases where temperature differences are less than 100 degrees Celsius. A design for heat recuperation in TREC with heat exchangers (HXs). It is a very promising technology.

The work, reported in the journal Nature , shows a possible design approach for cathode materials that move away from the current reliance on nickel and cobalt—which are limited resources and are associated with safety problems. The new study shows how manganese can work within this concept. —Lee et al. —Lee et al.

The design provides for two options: self-propelled or barge-mounted floating NPPs [e.g., OKBM has participated in realization of reactor plant (RP) designs for nuclear ships since 1954.). New design for floating NPPs. The current concept of a floating nuclear plant on a barge moored at the shore—e.g.,
