The pilot project is designed to determine if wastewater testing can provide early signals about the spread of the virus.

Physicist is honored with the RSEF’s highest scientific honor for his work on twistronics.

Instrument can provide information on various properties of thin films via a combination of optical characterization and modeling.

The new design could potentially be adapted for a range of applications, with thin, ultra-wide-angle lenses built directly into smartphones and laptops, rather than physically attached as bulky add-ons. The low-profile lenses might also be integrated into medical imaging devices such as endoscopes, as well as in virtual reality glasses, wearable electronics, and other computer vision devices.

A CRISPR-based test developed at MIT and the Broad Institute can detect nearly as many cases as the standard Covid-19 diagnostic.

Using deep learning for enhanced design of photonic topological states, a team of MIT engineers including Dr. Brian Anthony, Robin Singh, and Anu Agarwal has developed a framework that could enable better design of optical filters, reflectors, and other chip-scale photonic components.
