The Fannie and John Hertz Foundation has selected three MIT students as recipients of its prestigious fellowships this year: Allen Liu ’20, Alex Miller ’21, and Isabelle Yan Phinney ’20. In addition, two Hertz Fellows from other undergraduate institutions will soon join the MIT community as doctoral students: Kartik Chandra (computer science), and Alexander Zlokapa (physics).
The foundation awarded 12 fellowships in all, chosen from a pool of over 900 applicants from around the country.
“The 2021 Hertz fellows embody the kind of transformative scientific talent our nation and world need now,” says Robbee Baker Kosak, president of the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation. “The fellows we’ve selected demonstrate an unusual capacity for creative exploration and problem-solving. We’re pleased to support their research and look forward to the impact these fellows
MIT researchers and colleagues have turned a “magic” material of atomically thin graphene into three useful electronic devices. All are key to the quantum electronics industry.

Graphene Continues to Blow Our Minds with Its Interesting Physics MIT researchers and colleagues recently discovered an important and unexpected electronic property of graphene, a material frequently used in medtech that continues to amaze scientists with its interesting physics.
Back in 2004, Andrew Geim and Konstantin Novoselov discovered graphene, and within just a few years medtech engineers were gaga for graphene.
Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet composed of carbon arranged in a hexagon or honeycomb-like lattice. Today the material is used in a wide array of medical applications and it seems scientists are still uncovering new properties of the wonder material. Most recently, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and their colleagues at other universities discovered an unexpected electronic property of graphene.
