A new method for removing the greenhouse gas from the ocean could be far more efficient than existing systems for removing it from the air.

Lincoln Laboratory seeks ways to build non-contact screening methods that can detect concealed explosives at airports.

Annual award honors early-career researchers for creativity, innovation, and research accomplishments.

In 1996, Vicky Diadiuk ’73, ScD ’78, who had previously worked at Lincoln Laboratory on Indium Phosphide (InP) photodetectors, joined MTL as a principal research engineer to manage the fab operations. After twenty-seven years of overseeing the fab at MTL, Diadiuk retired earlier this year when the transition of the cleanroom to MIT.nano, housed in the Lisa T. Su Building (Building 12), was complete.
