New tools can accommodate samples from small pieces up to 200 mm wafers.

The technique could be used to fabricate computer chips that won’t get too hot while operating, or materials that can convert waste heat to energy.

Cobalt-based catalysts could be used to turn mixed plastic waste into fuel, new plastics, and other products.

The ceramic-based material could be used for highly efficient actuators for aircraft or other uses, with minimal moving parts.

Graduate students create on-campus assembly factory for fiber extrusion devices.

Awards support high-risk, high-impact research from early-career investigators.

New material could be used by Tesla to produce all-electric vehicles with just a few massive parts.

The Massachusetts Microelectronics Internship Program (MMIP) was launched over the summer to connect undergraduates interested in learning more about microelectronics with industry. Open to all freshmen and sophomores registered at Massachusetts universities, the MMIP offers a ten-week, full-time internship opportunity in microelectronics and hardware—with no prior experience required. The program includes training modules, mentor support, and network-building events designed to help students find their way in a burgeoning industry.
