MIT class 6.2540 (Nanotechnology: From Atoms to Systems) invites undergrads to spend over nine weeks inside MIT.nano’s labs, learning basic skills that allow them to apply their knowledge of the nanoscale to design and build spectrometers, make quantum dots, fabricate light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and tunneling chemical sensors, and test and package their sensors into active displays and systems.
MIT researchers developed resilient artificial muscles that can enable insect-scale aerial robots to effectively recover flight performance after suffering severe damage.
The precise arrangement of nanoparticles on arbitrary surfaces is highly desirable for leveraging their distinct properties in the preparation of highly functional nanoscale devices. However, realizing such surfaces is challenging.
