Katharina Ribbeck, the Mark Hyman Jr. Career Development Associate Professor of Biological Engineering, wants to pinpoint exactly how SARSCoV- 2, the virus that causes Covid-19, binds to and travels through mucus.
New system enables realistic variations in glossiness across a 3D-printed surface. The advance could aid fine art reproduction and the design of prosthetics.
Advances in sensors and sensing technologies are advancing our understanding of the body at all scales, from subcellular structures to entire populations, according to speakers at the 2020 SENSE.nano Symposium.
Fabric samples are headed to the International Space Station for resiliency testing; possible applications include cosmic dust detectors or spacesuit smart skins.
Ghadah Alshalan and Danielle Grey-Stewart have been selected for the 2021 cohort of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship program.
Grey-Stewart was one of the first undergraduate users of MIT.nano in Fall 2019, and went on to present her work at the 2020 Microsystems Annual Research Conference.
MIT.nano Associate Director Brian Anthony with MechE postdoc Robin Singh and research scientist Anu Agarwal recently published a paper in Nature Research on a Machine Learning (ML)-based method for the inverse design of the meta-optical structure.
The team presents a data-driven approach for modeling a grating meta-structure which performs photonic beam engineering. The devices were fabricated at MIT.nano! Read more at Nature.
