In an example of the adage “everything old is new again,” MIT engineers report a new discovery in semiconductors, well-known materials that have been the focus of intense study for over 100 years thanks to their many applications in electronic devices.
Los Alamos National Laboratory has been selected by the Department of Energy as the lead on a $9.25 million, five-year collaborative project in nuclear energy research. The Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program aims to advance modeling the behavior and properties of structural materials under molten salt conditions by using high-performance computing.
Funded by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the program will address vulnerabilities in the domestic critical materials supply chain, which are both an economic disadvantage and an impediment to the clean energy transition.
