Preventing energy loss in windows

Mechanical engineers are developing technologies that could prevent heat from entering or escaping windows, potentially preventing a massive loss of energy.

How strong is your knot?

With help from spaghetti and color-changing fibers, a new mathematical model predicts a knot’s stability.

MLA-150 is unpacked and moved into the cleanroom

The new MLA-150, a direct-write laser system that can expose UV sensitive photoresist on wafers or masks, has arrived at MIT.nano and we unpacked it today! See the whole process in this nine-image photo story.

MLA-150 arrives at MIT.nano

The new MLA-150 for MIT.nano's cleanroom has arrived by air freight. Installation will be in progress throughout the month of January. The tool will be located on the first floor.
