By focusing on electrolytes, MIT scientists are making sodium-metal batteries a more practical energy storage option.

The 2026 NEMC Hub-sponsored externship gave students access to world-class research, advanced semiconductor manufacturing, and professionals driving innovation across the Northeast.

PhD student Hugh Smith works to develop sodium-ion batteries, whose components are more abundant and accessible than those of conventional lithium-ion technology.

New findings could help researchers design synthetic catalysts that convert nitrogen gas to ammonia, a key step in fertilizer production.

New U-STORM imaging technology lets scientists view molecular structures in subatomic detail — about 1,000 times clearer than traditional dyes — while making the microscope process much simpler.
