Call for abstracts: Annual Research Report Volume II

Since 2020, MIT.nano has produced the Annual Research Report in collaboration with MTL, but we recognize that the focus on microsystems does not always capture the astonishing range of innovation happening within the Fab, Characterization, and Immersion Lab. Therefore, we are announcing an expanded call for abstracts from all MIT.nano users. The newly added research categories will comprise Volume II of the Annual Report and include:

Life sciences
Biomechanics and physiology
In-situ microscopy / dynamic processes
Materials characterization and techniques
Prototype instrumentation development
Immersive simulation, design, and visualization

Submit your abstract by April 28, 2025!
