MIT researchers created an ultrathin loudspeaker that can turn any rigid surface into a high-quality, active audio source. The fabrication process can enable the thin-film devices to be produced at scale.
During a visit to MIT.nano, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo emphasized the economic and national security implications of the global semiconductor shortage, and expressed the need to greatly boost domestic semiconductor research and manufacturing.
Workshop: Semiconductor Technology Translation & Hard-Tech Startups Identifying challenges and opportunities for translating ideas from academic labs to industry and into the market. U.S. universities are hotbeds of innovative technologies and new knowledge. Yet a growing gap has developed between nascent advanced hard-technology development (in academia and university-rooted startups) and technology concept commercialization (in established
Sensors and sensing systems can positively impact medical research, according to scientists at the 2021 SENSE.nano Symposium. Sponsored by MIT.nano and the MIT Clinical and Translational Research Center, the event featured themes of human motion studies, physiological monitoring, imaging at multiple scales, and devices and strategies for collecting specimens and performing biopsies.
