October 9 is National Nanotechnology Day! This year, MIT.nano is unveiling the first in a collection of nanoStories — brief snippets that tell how our everyday experiences are shaped by what happens at the nanoscale. This collection is designed for human explorers aged 11-100, who are curious about the way the world is put together.

Tissue processing advance can label proteins at the level of individual cells across large samples just as fast and uniformly as in dissociated single cells.

By determining how readily electron pairs flow through this material, scientists have taken a big step toward understanding its remarkable properties.

Faculty members and additional MIT alumni are among 400 scientists and engineers recognized for outstanding leadership potential.

Check out Active Surfaces, a member of START.nano, in the Boston Globe! 

Based on techniques developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Active Surfaces was launched in 2022. The company prints solar cells onto a plastic sheet, using methods not too different from those used to print newspapers. The resulting cells can generate electric power nearly as efficiently as today’s heavy, thick silicon panels. Read more.

A new approach, which takes minutes rather than days, predicts how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.

The company builds water recycling, treatment, and purification solutions for some of the world’s largest brands.
