Pushing the limits of electronic circuits
Ruonan Han seeks to develop next-generation electronic devices by harnessing terahertz waves.
In work that could turn cell phones into sensors capable of detecting viruses and other minuscule objects, MIT researchers have built a powerful nanoscale flashlight on a chip.
Could lab-grown plant tissue ease the environmental toll of logging and agriculture?
MIT researchers have proposed a method to grow plant-based materials, like wood and fiber, and have demonstrated the concept by growing a culture of wood-like cells from zinnia…
