Molten chloride salts for concentrated solar power
Molten chloride salts for concentrated solar power are a cheap MgCl2/KCl/NaCl mixture for next-generation CSP plants near 720 °C, paired with supercritical CO2 Brayton cycles.
Molten oxide electrolysis
Molten oxide electrolysis (MOE) is a carbon-free steelmaking process developed from MIT research, in which electric current reduces molten iron ore to liquid metal while releasing only oxygen.
Molten oxide electrolysis for steelmaking
Molten oxide electrolysis (MOE) for steelmaking is a single-step electrolytic process that reduces iron ore at about 1600 °C, releasing oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.
Molten Salt Fast Reactor
The Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) is a Generation IV nuclear reactor concept in which molten fluoride salt serves as both liquid fuel and coolant in a fast neutron spectrum.
Molten salt reactor
A molten salt reactor (MSR) is a nuclear fission reactor in which molten salt serves as fuel, coolant, or both instead of solid fuel rods and pressurized water.
Molten salt thermal energy storage
Molten salt thermal energy storage stores sensible heat in molten nitrate salts in insulated tanks; it dominates concentrating solar power storage and offers 93–98% thermal round-trip efficiency.
Molten salt thermal storage
Molten salt thermal storage is a high-temperature energy storage method that stores heat in liquid salt tanks, used mainly in concentrating solar power plants to generate steam for turbines.
Molten-metal methane pyrolysis
Molten-metal methane pyrolysis is a hydrogen production process in which methane bubbles through molten metal or salt near 1000 °C, splitting into hydrogen and solid carbon without producing carbon dioxide.
Molten-salt battery
A molten-salt battery is a battery using molten salt as an electrolyte, ranging from primary thermal cells to rechargeable types such as the sodium-sulfur and sodium-metal halide (ZEBRA) batteries.
Molten-Salt Breeder Reactor
The Molten-Salt Breeder Reactor (MSBR) was a thermal-spectrum reactor concept from Oak Ridge National Laboratory that used a thorium fuel cycle in circulating molten fluoride salt.
Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment
The Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) was an experimental nuclear reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, that ran from 1965 to 1969, with uranium fuel dissolved in circulating molten fluoride salt.
Molten-silicon thermal energy storage
Molten-silicon thermal energy storage is a grid-scale storage concept that stores electricity as heat in silicon at 1414 °C, discharging it as heat or electricity.
Molybdenum disilicide
Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂) is an intermetallic compound of molybdenum and silicon with a 2030 °C melting point, used for high-temperature electric heating elements and as a candidate structural material.
Mom's Spaghetti
Mom's Spaghetti is a restaurant concept by Eminem, his manager Paul Rosenberg, and Union Joints, named for the "mom's spaghetti" line in his 2002 song "Lose Yourself."
Moment distribution method
Moment distribution, the moment distribution method, is an iterative hand technique for analyzing indeterminate beams and frames, developed by Hardy Cross and first published in 1930.
Momentive
Momentive Performance Materials is an American silicone producer in Niskayuna, New York, formed from General Electric's silicones business and owned since 2024 by South Korea's KCC.
Momentum method
The momentum method is an optimization technique in machine learning that adds a fraction of the previous update to each gradient step, dampening oscillations and speeding convergence.
Momentum-based collision detection
Momentum-based collision detection is a sensorless method in which a robot arm detects unexpected physical contact by comparing measured generalized momentum against a model-driven estimate, using only proprioceptive sensors.
Momentus
Momentus is a U.S. commercial space company founded in 2017 by Mikhail Kokorich, headquartered in San Jose, California, that moves satellites to their operational orbits with its water-propellant Vigoride vehicles.
Momotaro Dentetsu
Momotaro Dentetsu (桃太郎電鉄, "Momotaro Railways") is a Japanese board game-style video game series, first released in 1988, in which players travel a map of Japan buying properties and competing to build the largest assets.
Momotombo Geothermal Power Station
The Momotombo Geothermal Power Station is a geothermal power plant on the southern flank of the Momotombo volcano in Nicaragua, the country's first, commissioned in 1983.
Mon Repos, Corfu
Mon Repos is a neoclassical villa at Paleopolis, about 2 km south of Corfu town, Greece, built 1828–1831 as a summer residence for High Commissioner Sir Frederic Adam and now housing the Museum of Palaiopolis-Mon Repos.
Mona Diab
Mona T. Diab is a computational linguist and NLP researcher who directs the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, known for Arabic NLP and responsible AI.
Monaco Editor
Monaco Editor is the code editor from Visual Studio Code, repackaged as an MIT-licensed browser library with syntax coloring, validation, and IntelliSense, though it hosts no VS Code extensions.
MONAI
