Using nanoparticles that store and gradually release light, engineers create light-emitting plants that can be charged repeatedly.

New property in an ultrathin cousin of graphene could allow for much denser computer memory.

SMART nanosensors are safer and less tedious than existing techniques for testing plants’ response to compounds such as herbicides.

A new approach increases the efficiency of chemical reactions that are key to many industrial processes.

3D lithography tool will provide ultra-precise creation of complex 3D structures at the micro- and nanoscale.

MIT researchers find a new way to quantify the uncertainty in molecular energies predicted by neural networks.

The MTL/MIT.nano joint 2021 Microsystems Annual Research Report represents a broad cross-section of the MIT community, with 37+ faculty, 118 students, postdoctoral associates, and research staff participating.
