Before completing her undergraduate studies, Sophie Hartley, a student in MIT’s Graduate Program in Science Writing, had an epiphany that was years in the making.
“The classes I took in my last undergraduate semester changed my career goals, but it started with my grandfather,” she says when asked about what led her to science writing. She’d been studying comparative human development at the University of Chicago, which Hartley describes as “a combination of psychology and anthropology,” when she took courses in environmental writing and digital science communications.
“What if my life could be about learning more of life’s intricacies?” she thought.
Hartley’s grandfather introduced her to photography when she was younger, which helped her develop an appreciation for the natural world. Each summer, they would explore tide pools, overgrown forests, and his sprawling backyard. He gave her a camera and encouraged her to take pictures of anything interesting.
“Photography was a door into science journalism,” she notes. “It lets you capture the raw beauty of a moment and return to it later.”
Lasting impact through storytelling
Hartley spent time in Wisconsin and Vermont while growing up. That’s when she noticed a divide between rural communities and urban spaces. She wants to tell stories about communities that are less likely to be covered, and “connect them to people in cities who might not otherwise understand what’s happening and why.”
People have important roles to play in arresting climate change impacts, improving land management practices and policies, and taking better care of our natural resources, according to Hartley. Challenges related to conservation, land management, and farming affect us all, which is why she believes effective science writing is so important.
“We’re way more connected than we believe or understand,” Hartley says. “Climate change is creating problems throughout the entire agricultural supply chain.”
For her news writing course, Hartley wrote a story about how flooding in Vermont led to hay shortages, which impacted comestibles as diverse as goat cheese and beef. “When the hay can’t dry, it’s ruined,” she says. “That means cows and goats aren’t eating, which means they can’t produce our beef, milk, and cheese.”
Ultimately, Hartley believes her work can build compassion for others while also educating people about how everything we do affects nature and one another.
“The connective tissues between humans persist,” she said. “People who live in cities aren’t exempt from rural concerns.”
Creating connections with science writing
During her year-long study in the MIT Graduate Program in Science Writing, Hartley is also busy producing reporting for major news outlets.
Earlier this year, Hartley authored a piece for Ars Technica that explored ongoing efforts to develop technology aimed at preventing car collisions with kangaroos. As Hartley reported, given the unique and unpredictable behavior of kangaroos, vehicle animal detection systems have proven ineffective. That’s forced Australian communities to develop alternative solutions, such as virtual fencing, to keep kangaroos away from the roads.
In June, Hartley co-produced a story for GBH News with Hannah Richter, a fellow student in the science writing program. They reported on how and why officials at a new Peabody power plant are backtracking on an earlier pledge to run the facility on clean fuels.
The story was a collaboration between GBH News and the investigative journalism class in the science writing program. Hartley recalls wonderful experience working with Richter. “We were able to lean on each other’s strengths and learn from each other,” she says. “The piece took a long time to report and write, and it was helpful to have a friend and colleague to continuously motivate me when we would pick it back up after a while.”
Co-reporting can also help evenly divide what can sometimes become a massive workload, particularly with deeply, well-researched pieces like the Peabody story. “When there is so much research to do, it’s helpful to have another person to divvy up the work,” she continued. “It felt like everything was stronger and better, from the writing to the fact-checking, because we had two eyes on it during the reporting process.”
Hartley’s favorite piece in 2024 focused on beech leaf disease, a deadly pathogen devastating North American forests. Her story, which was later published in The Boston Globe Magazine , followed a team of four researchers racing to discover how the disease works. Beech leaf disease kills swiftly and en masse, leaving space for invasive species to thrive on forest floors. Her interest in land management and natural resources shines through in much of her work.
Local news organizations are an endangered species as newsrooms across America shed staff and increasingly rely on aggregated news accounts from larger organizations. What can be lost, however, are opportunities to tell small-scale stories with potentially large-scale impacts. “Small and rural accountability stories are being told less and less,” Hartley notes. “I think it’s important that communities are aware of what is happening around them, especially if it impacts them.”

For many decades, nuclear fusion power has been viewed as the ultimate energy source. A fusion power plant could generate carbon-free energy at a scale needed to address climate change. And it could be fueled by deuterium recovered from an essentially endless source — seawater. Decades of work and billions of dollars in research funding have yielded many advances, but challenges remain. To Ju Li, the TEPCO Professor in Nuclear Science and Engineering and a professor of materials science and engineering at MIT, there are still two big challenges. The first is to build a fusion power plant that generates more energy than is put into it; in other words, it produces a net output of power. Researchers worldwide are making progress toward meeting that goal. The second challenge that Li cites sounds straightforward: “How do we get the heat out?” But understanding the problem and finding a solution are both far from obvious. Research in the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) includes development and testing of advanced materials that may help address those challenges, as well as many other challenges of the energy transition. MITEI has multiple corporate members that have been supporting MIT’s efforts to advance technologies required to harness fusion energy.
Key to a fusion reactor is a superheated plasma — an ionized gas — that’s reacting inside a vacuum vessel. As light atoms in the plasma combine to form heavier ones, they release fast neutrons with high kinetic energy that shoot through the surrounding vacuum vessel into a coolant. During this process, those fast neutrons gradually lose their energy by causing radiation damage and generating heat. The heat that’s transferred to the coolant is eventually used to raise steam that drives an electricity-generating turbine. The problem is finding a material for the vacuum vessel that remains strong enough to keep the reacting plasma and the coolant apart, while allowing the fast neutrons to pass through to the coolant. If one considers only the damage due to neutrons knocking atoms out of position in the metal structure, the vacuum vessel should last a full decade. However, depending on what materials are used in the fabrication of the vacuum vessel, some projections indicate that the vacuum vessel will last only six to 12 months. Why is that? Today’s nuclear fission reactors also generate neutrons, and those reactors last far longer than a year. The difference is that fusion neutrons possess much higher kinetic energy than fission neutrons do, and as they penetrate the vacuum vessel walls, some of them interact with the nuclei of atoms in the structural material, giving off particles that rapidly turn into helium atoms. The result is hundreds of times more helium atoms than are present in a fission reactor. Those helium atoms look for somewhere to land — a place with low “embedding energy,” a measure that indicates how much energy it takes for a helium atom to be absorbed. As Li explains, “The helium atoms like to go to places with low helium embedding energy.” And in the metals used in fusion vacuum vessels, there are places with relatively low helium embedding energy — namely, naturally occurring openings called grain boundaries. Metals are made up of individual grains inside which atoms are lined up in an orderly fashion. Where the grains come together there are gaps where the atoms don’t line up as well. That open space has relatively low helium embedding energy, so the helium atoms congregate there. Worse still, helium atoms have a repellent interaction with other atoms, so the helium atoms basically push open the grain boundary. Over time, the opening grows into a continuous crack, and the vacuum vessel breaks. That congregation of helium atoms explains why the structure fails much sooner than expected based just on the number of helium atoms that are present. Li offers an analogy to illustrate. “Babylon is a city of a million people. But the claim is that 100 bad persons can destroy the whole city — if all those bad persons work at the city hall.” The solution? Give those bad persons other, more attractive places to go, ideally in their own villages. To Li, the problem and possible solution are the same in a fusion reactor. If many helium atoms go to the grain boundary at once, they can destroy the metal wall. The solution? Add a small amount of a material that has a helium embedding energy even lower than that of the grain boundary. And over the past two years, Li and his team have demonstrated — both theoretically and experimentally — that their diversionary tactic works. By adding nanoscale particles of a carefully selected second material to the metal wall, they’ve found they can keep the helium atoms that form from congregating in the structurally vulnerable grain boundaries in the metal.
To test their idea, So Yeon Kim ScD ’23 of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Haowei Xu PhD ’23 of the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering acquired a sample composed of two materials, or “phases,” one with a lower helium embedding energy than the other. They and their collaborators then implanted helium ions into the sample at a temperature similar to that in a fusion reactor and watched as bubbles of helium formed. Transmission electron microscope images confirmed that the helium bubbles occurred predominantly in the phase with the lower helium embedding energy. As Li notes, “All the damage is in that phase — evidence that it protected the phase with the higher embedding energy.” Having confirmed their approach, the researchers were ready to search for helium-absorbing compounds that would work well with iron, which is often the principal metal in vacuum vessel walls. “But calculating helium embedding energy for all sorts of different materials would be computationally demanding and expensive,” says Kim. “We wanted to find a metric that is easy to compute and a reliable indicator of helium embedding energy.” They found such a metric: the “atomic-scale free volume,” which is basically the maximum size of the internal vacant space available for helium atoms to potentially settle. “This is just the radius of the largest sphere that can fit into a given crystal structure,” explains Kim. “It is a simple calculation.” Examination of a series of possible helium-absorbing ceramic materials confirmed that atomic free volume correlates well with helium embedding energy. Moreover, many of the ceramics they investigated have higher free volume, thus lower embedding energy, than the grain boundaries do. However, in order to identify options for the nuclear fusion application, the screening needed to include some other factors. For example, in addition to the atomic free volume, a good second phase must be mechanically robust (able to sustain a load); it must not get very radioactive with neutron exposure; and it must be compatible — but not too cozy — with the surrounding metal, so it disperses well but does not dissolve into the metal. “We want to disperse the ceramic phase uniformly in the bulk metal to ensure that all grain boundary regions are close to the dispersed ceramic phase so it can provide protection to those regions,” says Li. “The two phases need to coexist, so the ceramic won’t either clump together or totally dissolve in the iron.” Using their analytical tools, Kim and Xu examined about 50,000 compounds and identified 750 potential candidates. Of those, a good option for inclusion in a vacuum vessel wall made mainly of iron was iron silicate.
The researchers were ready to examine samples in the lab. To make the composite material for proof-of-concept demonstrations , Kim and collaborators dispersed nanoscale particles of iron silicate into iron and implanted helium into that composite material. She took X-ray diffraction (XRD) images before and after implanting the helium and also computed the XRD patterns. The ratio between the implanted helium and the dispersed iron silicate was carefully controlled to allow a direct comparison between the experimental and computed XRD patterns. The measured XRD intensity changed with the helium implantation exactly as the calculations had predicted. “That agreement confirms that atomic helium is being stored within the bulk lattice of the iron silicate,” says Kim. To follow up, Kim directly counted the number of helium bubbles in the composite. In iron samples without the iron silicate added, grain boundaries were flanked by many helium bubbles. In contrast, in the iron samples with the iron silicate ceramic phase added, helium bubbles were spread throughout the material, with many fewer occurring along the grain boundaries. Thus, the iron silicate had provided sites with low helium-embedding energy that lured the helium atoms away from the grain boundaries, protecting those vulnerable openings and preventing cracks from opening up and causing the vacuum vessel to fail catastrophically. The researchers conclude that adding just 1 percent (by volume) of iron silicate to the iron walls of the vacuum vessel will cut the number of helium bubbles in half and also reduce their diameter by 20 percent — “and having a lot of small bubbles is OK if they’re not in the grain boundaries,” explains Li.
Thus far, Li and his team have gone from computational studies of the problem and a possible solution to experimental demonstrations that confirm their approach. And they’re well on their way to commercial fabrication of components. “We’ve made powders that are compatible with existing commercial 3D printers and are preloaded with helium-absorbing ceramics,” says Li. The helium-absorbing nanoparticles are well dispersed and should provide sufficient helium uptake to protect the vulnerable grain boundaries in the structural metals of the vessel walls. While Li confirms that there’s more scientific and engineering work to be done, he, along with Alexander O’Brien PhD ’23 of the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering and Kang Pyo So, a former postdoc in the same department, have already developed a startup company that’s ready to 3D print structural materials that can meet all the challenges faced by the vacuum vessel inside a fusion reactor. This research was supported by Eni S.p.A. through the MIT Energy Initiative. Additional support was provided by a Kwajeong Scholarship; the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Laboratory Directed Research and Development program at Idaho National Laboratory; U.S. DOE Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; and Creative Materials Discovery Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea.
On a research cruise around Hawaii in 2018, Yuening Zhang SM ’19, PhD ’24 saw how difficult it was to keep a tight ship. The careful coordination required to map underwater terrain could sometimes led to a stressful environment for team members, who might have different understandings of which tasks must be completed in spontaneously changing conditions. During these trips, Zhang considered how a robotic companion could have helped her and her crewmates achieve their goals more efficiently.
Six years later, as a research assistant in the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), Zhang developed what could be considered a missing piece: an AI assistant that communicates with team members to align roles and accomplish a common goal. In a paper presented at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) and published on IEEE Xplore on Aug. 8 , she and her colleagues present a system that can oversee a team of both human and AI agents, intervening when needed to potentially increase teamwork effectiveness in domains like search-and-rescue missions, medical procedures, and strategy video games.
The CSAIL-led group has developed a theory of mind model for AI agents, which represents how humans think and understand each other’s possible plan of action when they cooperate in a task. By observing the actions of its fellow agents, this new team coordinator can infer their plans and their understanding of each other from a prior set of beliefs. When their plans are incompatible, the AI helper intervenes by aligning their beliefs about each other, instructing their actions, as well as asking questions when needed.
For example, when a team of rescue workers is out in the field to triage victims, they must make decisions based on their beliefs about each other’s roles and progress. This type of epistemic planning could be improved by CSAIL’s software, which can send messages about what each agent intends to do or has done to ensure task completion and avoid duplicate efforts. In this instance, the AI helper may intervene to communicate that an agent has already proceeded to a certain room, or that none of the agents are covering a certain area with potential victims.
“Our work takes into account the sentiment that ‘I believe that you believe what someone else believes,’” says Zhang, who is now a research scientist at Mobi Systems. “Imagine you’re working on a team and you ask yourself, ‘What exactly is that person doing? What am I going to do? Does he know what I am about to do?’ We model how different team members understand the overarching plan and communicate what they need to accomplish to help complete their team’s overall goal.”
AI to the rescue
Even with a sophisticated plan, both human and robotic agents will encounter confusion and even make mistakes if their roles are unclear. This plight looms especially large in search-and-rescue missions, where the objective may be to locate someone in danger despite limited time and a vast area to scan. Thankfully, communication technology augmented with the new robotic assistant could potentially notify the search parties about what each group is doing and where they’re looking. In turn, the agents could navigate their terrain more efficiently.
This type of task organization could aid in other high-stakes scenarios like surgeries. In these cases, the nurse first needs to bring the patient to the operation room, then the anesthesiologist puts the patient to sleep before the surgeons begin the operation. Throughout the operation, the team must continuously monitor the patient’s condition while dynamically responding to the actions of each colleague. To ensure that each activity within the procedure remains well-organized, the AI team coordinator could oversee and intervene if confusion about any of these tasks arises.
Effective teamwork is also integral to video games like “Valorant,” where players collaboratively coordinate who needs to attack and defend against another team online. In these scenarios, an AI assistant could pop up on the screen to alert individual users about where they’ve misinterpreted which tasks they need to complete.
Before she led the development of this model, Zhang designed EPike, a computational model that can act as a team member. In a 3D simulation program, this algorithm controlled a robotic agent that needed to match a container to the drink chosen by the human. As rational and sophisticated as they may be, cases arise where these AI-simulated bots are limited by their misconceptions about their human partners or the task. The new AI coordinator can correct the agents’ beliefs when needed to resolve potential problems, and it consistently intervened in this instance. The system sent messages to the robot about the human’s true intentions to ensure it matched the container correctly.
“In our work on human-robot collaboration, we’ve been both humbled and inspired over the years by how fluid human partners can be,” says Brian C. Williams, MIT professor of aeronautics and astronautics, CSAIL member, and senior author on the study. “Just look at a young couple with kids, who work together to get their kids breakfast and off to school. If one parent sees their partner serving breakfast and still in their bathrobe, the parent knows to shower quickly and shuffle the kids off to school, without the need to say a word. Good partners are well in tune with the beliefs and goals of each other, and our work on epistemic planning strives to capture this style of reasoning.”
The researchers’ method incorporates probabilistic reasoning with recursive mental modeling of the agents, allowing the AI assistant to make risk-bounded decisions. In addition, they focused on modeling agents’ understanding of plans and actions, which could complement previous work on modeling beliefs about the current world or environment. The AI assistant currently infers agents’ beliefs based on a given prior of possible beliefs, but the MIT group envisions applying machine learning techniques to generate new hypotheses on the fly. To apply this counterpart to real-life tasks, they also aim to consider richer plan representations in their work and reduce computation costs further.
Dynamic Object Language Labs President Paul Robertson, Johns Hopkins University Assistant Professor Tianmin Shu, and former CSAIL affiliate Sungkweon Hong PhD ’23 join Zhang and Williams on the paper. Their work was supported, in part, by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Artificial Social Intelligence for Successful Teams (ASIST) program.
