Method to stack hundreds of nanoscale layers could open new vistas in materials science.

Researchers look to bones and shells as blueprints for stronger, more durable concrete.

Findings may guide development of formulas to make the material more durable, less CO2-intensive.

New research shows concrete is a strong choice for the long-term confinement of nuclear waste.

Service to faculty, collaboration with industry are hallmarks of campus-based Materials Processing Center at MIT.
