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...
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 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...
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 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...
