Beyond the Reactor: How Oklo is turning nuclear breakthroughs into scalable solutions.
The defining test for advanced nuclear is no longer proof of concept—it is whether developers can fuel, license, manufacture, and replicate plants on credible schedules. That challenge is central to how nuclear power company Oklo, Inc. approaches commercialization.
ASME CATALYZE Summit to Convene Technical Leaders Driving the Next Industrial Transformation
A growing community of engineers, investors and industry leaders working to scale real-world industrial solutions will convene for the first time when the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) hosts the inaugural ASME CATALYZE Summit on April 20–21, 2027, at The Department at Hudson’s in Detroit.
CATALYZE Series: How Regional Manufacturing Leads the Transition to Clean Industries
The transition to clean industries is often discussed in terms of national targets and global frameworks, but one analysis suggests its success will be determined at the local level. The clean industrial revolution may be underway on factory floors, in industrial corridors, and within the communities supporting manufacturing.
Engineering Quality for the Next Industrial Revolution: Decarbonization, Digital Transformation, and Workforce Evolution
Industry is entering what many describe as the next industrial revolution, an era defined not by a single breakthrough technology, but by the convergence of powerful forces reshaping how products are designed, manufactured, and delivered.
CATALYZE Series: The 2035 Initiative’s Roadmap to Electrify Industrial Heat
Industrial heat is one of the largest sources of emissions, and it is hard to abate. The equipment is expensive and has a long lifespan, processes are complex and there has been a lack of mature decarbonization technologies to reduce emissions. Now, however, the sector is at a turning point. Technology, policy, and engineering analysis have converged to open real paths toward decarbonization.
In Pursuit of Clean Steel
Engineering the future means rethinking the fundamentals, including how we make one of the world’s most essential materials: Steel. Innovators featured at ASME CATALYZE are reimagining manufacturing across steel and other sectors, helping build the next industrial revolution.
HOT TOPIC: Jigar Shah, cofounder of Multiplier and former director of the Energy Department’s Loan Programs Office, on building up U.S. supply chains for a better grid
Electricity demand and grid shortfalls have become dominant topics. What’s the path to a cleaner, more robust grid?
Meeting The Moment: Investors Signal a New Phase for Advanced Energy Technologies
The next wave of advanced energy growth will be shaped by the partnerships we build today. In his new article, Jigar Shah draws on his experience as an advisor, investor, and former DOE Loan Programs Director, along with insights from McKinsey & Company, to highlight which technologies are accelerating, where the biggest scaling opportunities lie, and why ASME CATALYZE arrives at a pivotal moment for the sector.
