Polina Anikeeva, PhD ’09, followed up her ultrathin brain probes with tools to study the gut-brain connection—and now leads an MIT research center investigating neural pathways throughout the body.
Using the advanced characterization facilities in MIT.nano, researchers have demonstrated several material candidates as a new class of 2D van der Waals magnets and established a framework for structural engineering of these materials to enable future exploration.
