New technologies, new sources of capital, and new ways of thinking. See highlights from the <a href="http://mitenergyconference.techtv.mit.edu/">2008 MIT Energy Conference</a>, and find out how MIT is playing a vital role in finding energy solutions. 467 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/187979320 2009-05-19 13:00:01 -0400 MIT Energy Initiative Hosted by U.S. Senator Tom Carper, Monday May 18, 2009 One of the long-term questions about nuclear energy is how to manage the waste. For many years, U.S. nuclear utilities have paid fees to the federal government for nuclear waste disposal. But work on disposal has come with delays and roadblocks. It is time to responsibly move forward to address the nuclear waste issue. Senator Carper’s roundtable brings together MIT and Harvard professors to investigate options for handling the United States’ nuclear waste through recycling and reprocessing. Experts in the field will discuss the pros and cons of recycling technologies, providing information Senator Carper will take back to Congress with him during the ongoing congressional debate. 7472 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/187358200 2009-06-12 15:38:50 -0400 MIT Department of Physics Technical Services Group Subatomic particles such as cosmic ray muons, alpha particles, and high energy electrons are striking our bodies all the time. In the cloud chamber, these particles ionize air molecules, creating delicate cloud trails by condensing supersaturated alcohol vapor. This is similar to the way condensation trails are formed in the sky behind airplanes. <br><br> This is about as close as you'll ever get to seeing subatomic particles with your own eyes... 157
