The Initiative for New Manufacturing is convening experts across the Institute to drive a transformation of production across the U.S. and the world.

New microparticles containing iron or iodine could be used to fortify food and beverages, to help fight malnutrition.

Researchers created polymers that are more resistant to tearing by incorporating stress-responsive molecules identified by a machine-learning model.

MIT spinout Tissium recently secured FDA marketing authorization of a biopolymer platform for nerve repair.

The flexible chip could boost the performance of current electronics and meet the more stringent efficiency requirements of future 6G technologies.

MIT physicists confirm that, like Superman, light has two identities that are impossible to see at once.

The platform identifies, mixes, and tests up to 700 new polymer blends a day for applications like protein stabilization, battery electrolytes, or drug-delivery materials.

In the push to shrink and enhance technologies that control light, MIT researchers have unveiled a new platform that pushes the limits of modern optics through nanophotonics, the manipulation of light on the nanoscale, or billionths of a meter.

The result is a class of ultra-compact optical devices that are not only smaller and more efficient than existing technologies, but also dynamically tunable, or switchable, from one optical mode to another. Until now, this has been an elusive combination in nanophotonics.
