Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The study found that there are significant global supplies of conventional gas.

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. The team will develop two modeling frameworks to evaluate and validate these solutions.

“People were really interested in clean air and clean water, so I decided there would always be interest in the environment,” Crawford says. You study many areas in civil engineering, including structures, soils, transportation, and the environment,” she says. She switched her major to civil and environmental engineering.

Developing a general-purpose robot, one that can competently and robustly execute a wide variety of tasks of interest in any home or office environment that humans can, has been perhaps the holy grail of robotics since the inception of the field. Most results presented in academic papers top out at 80 percent success rate.

The MIT will develop a new generation of power electronics based on vertical gallium nitride (GaN) superjunction diodes and transistors that can vastly exceed the performance of today’s GaN power devices. The system takes three main inputs: ambient air, water, and a sustainable energy source, and produces butanol with high selectivity.

Earlier this month, researchers from MIT said they had developed a process that within three years could lead to electric car batteries able to recharge in as little as five minutes. While the Model S is in the concept phase of development, rapid charging represents a very real focus for battery developers and electric car makers.
