Nano Day 2023: Celebrating 5 years of MIT.nano

Happy Nano Day!

October 9 is National Nanotechnology Day—the day that celebrates the potency of the world at the scale of one nanometer, 10-9 or one billionth of a meter.

Every year, we celebrate 10/9 to shine a light on the potential of nanoscale discoveries and innovations to help solve some of the biggest challenges facing society today. This year, we have another reason to cheer—the fifth anniversary of MIT.nano.

In celebration of five years of serving our community, MIT.nano is releasing five videos for Nano Day 2023. The videos showcase our three main facilities—Characterization, Fab, and Immersion Lab—look back at where we started in 2018, and celebrate the MIT.nano community of 2023.
