MIT’s Expert Uses Ultrafast Spectroscopy to Study Events Occurring Femtoseconds to Nanoseconds

Chlorophyll in plants, during photosynthesis, absorbs photons (energy) from the sun. This energy is transferred to other chlorophyll molecules organized by protein scaffolds and funneled into the next stage of photosynthesis. The early light-harv...

MIT’s Director Uses Characterization Tools To Help Researchers Discover Next-gen Technologies

Anna Osherov, an assistant director for Characterization.nano is using MIT.nano to help researchers navigate state-of-the-art technologies such as electron microscopy and spectroscopy, as well as instruments that measure mechanical, electrical, magn...

MIT Engineers Devise New Method to Manufacture Protein Drugs to Make it Affordable

MIT engineers have found an inexpensive way to manufacture protein drugs like insulin or antibodies. They have improvised the purification step, which involves isolating the protein from the bioreactor used to produce it; this step accounts for up t...

MIT Researcher Uncovers Design Principles to Fine-tune Materials at Many Size Scales

Robert Macfarlane, MIT's Paul M. Cook, Associate Professor in Materials Science and Engineering, has uncovered new design principles that allow researchers to fine-tune materials at many size scales. Macfarlane's work is making nanoparticle building...

Scientists Successfully Took the Highest Resolution Images of the Moon from the Earth

Scientists from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), Green Bank Observatory (GBO), and Raytheon Intelligence & Space (RIS) in collaboration with the National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and Very Long Baseline Arra...
