The device, based on simple tetromino shapes, could determine the direction and distance of a radiation source, with fewer detector pixels.

MIT scientists have tackled key obstacles to bringing 2D magnetic materials into practical use, setting the stage for the next generation of energy-efficient computers.

Seron Electronics, founded by Mo Mirvakili PhD ’17, makes research equipment with applications including microelectronics, clean energy, optics, biomedicine, and beyond.

The low-cost hardware outperforms state-of-the-art versions and could someday enable an affordable, in-home device for health monitoring.

The work will help researchers tune surface properties of perovskites, a promising alternative and supplement to silicon, for more efficient photovoltaics.

The printed solenoids could enable electronics that cost less and are easier to manufacture — on Earth or in space.

An MIT team precisely controlled an ultrathin magnet at room temperature, which could enable faster, more efficient processors and computer memories.

MIT engineers developed a tag that can reveal with near-perfect accuracy whether an item is real or fake. The key is in the glue on the back of the tag.

State-of-the-art toolset will bridge academic innovations and industry pathways to scale for semiconductors, microelectronics, and other critical technologies.

A system designed at MIT could allow sensors to operate in remote settings, without batteries.
