An MIT team is working to harness combustion to yield valuable materials, including some that are critical in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries.

A new method for removing the greenhouse gas from the ocean could be far more efficient than existing systems for removing it from the air.

Lincoln Laboratory seeks ways to build non-contact screening methods that can detect concealed explosives at airports.

Annual award honors early-career researchers for creativity, innovation, and research accomplishments.

In 1996, Vicky Diadiuk ’73, ScD ’78, who had previously worked at Lincoln Laboratory on Indium Phosphide (InP) photodetectors, joined MTL as a principal research engineer to manage the fab operations. After twenty-seven years of overseeing the fab at MTL, Diadiuk retired earlier this year when the transition of the cleanroom to MIT.nano, housed in the Lisa T. Su Building (Building 12), was complete.

Using lasers, researchers can directly control a property of nuclei called spin, that can encode quantum information.

Seven researchers, along with 14 additional MIT alumni, are honored for significant contributions to engineering research, practice, and education.

When we think of safety circuits, what most often comes to mind is the various safety protective devices and wiring integral to equipment that ensures safe operation. For MIT.nano, a safety circuit has evolved to also describe its staff commitment to enhancing the safety of its laboratories and to proactively engage with researchers in ways that support the facility’s culture of safety.
