MIT Associate Professor James LeBeau develops new techniques for gathering and analyzing data in electron microscopy to better understand material properties in fields including electronics, photonics, quantum mechanics, and energy storage.
The School of Engineering has granted tenure to Guy Bresler, Otto Cordero, Michael Carbin, Ming Guo, Stefanie Jegelka, Jeehwan Kim, Angela Koehler, Mathias Kolle, Tim Kraska, James LeBeau, Luqiao Lui, Robert Macfarlane, Desirée Plata, and C. Cem Tasan.
In research that could jumpstart work on technologies including fuel cells, key to storing solar and wind energy, MIT researchers have found a relatively simple way to increase the lifetimes of these devices: changing the “pH” of the system.
