MIT researchers developed a new fabrication method that could enable them to stack multiple active components, like transistors and memory units, on top of an existing circuit, which would improve the energy efficiency of electronic devices.
Unlocking its secrets could thus enable advances in efficient energy production, electronics cooling, water desalination, medical diagnostics, and more. “Boiling is important for applications way beyond nuclear,” says Bucci, who earned tenure at MIT in July. “Boiling is used in 80 percent of the power plants that produce electricity.
Liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost solution for ensuring a reliable power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon-free yet intermittent energy sources, according to a new model from MIT researchers.
