Marco Graffiedi, a fifth-year doctoral candidate at MIT’s Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, is investigating a process that could unlock next-generation nuclear reactors and spacecraft.
Quenching is a highly efficient heat transfer process that could enhance the world’s most efficient cooling systems.
The process could, for example, enable efficient refueling in space — one of the problems Elon Musk’s SpaceX currently aims to tackle with its Starship program.
