The electrical engineering and nanotechnology leader will guide the US Army-sponsored research center as it advances next-generation materials, electronics, and photonics for national security.

A new model measures defects that can be leveraged to improve materials’ mechanical strength, heat transfer, and energy-conversion efficiency.

The cells can survive in the body for at least three months, producing enough insulin to control blood sugar levels, research shows.

An AI model generates novel proteins based on how they vibrate and move, opening new possibilities for dynamic biomaterials and adaptive therapeutics.

This award-winning startup with roots at the MIT Energy Initiative is developing lightweight, flexible, high-efficiency solar energy films designed to be used on roofs, walls, and any curved surface.

A new model shows how levels of the “atmosphere’s detergent” may rise and fall in response to climate change.

The portable “ChromoLCD” device combines LCD and LED lighting to customize high-quality designs onto things like shirts and whiteboards.

The method allows researchers to observe biomolecular complexes in a quick, accurate, and budget-friendly way, providing new insights into bacterial protein synthesis.

Participants learn how laser “fingerprinting” can help identify materials in fields ranging from law enforcement to art restoration.
