Attosecond Lasers Produce Electron Movies
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 16, 2011 — Hoping to gain a clearer understanding of what happens during chemical reactions, a team of researchers is working to create a laser device that can release bursts of laser light to capture individual electrons as they orbit the nucleus — much like a movie. The researchers are from MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics, the University of Sydney in Australia, Polytechnic University of Milan in Italy and Hamburg University in Germany. Achieving this phenomenon is difficult,...
Growing inexpensive silicon microwires
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A new, simpler process has been developed that turns silicon into precisely sized and spaced microwires with the potential for practical commercial applications such as solar cells, transistors, integrated circuits, sensors and batteries. ...
DARPA Awards Georgia Tech $4.3M
ATLANTA, Dec. 8, 2010 — A new class of sensors able to detect multiple biological and chemical threats simultaneously with unprecedented performance may soon be within reach, thanks to the establishment of a multimillion-dollar research center led by Georgia Institute of...
3-D Ear Canal Scanner Gets Funding
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 21, 2010 — Lantos Technologies Inc. has announced that it has closed on $1.6 million in a Series A financing to develop its novel 3-D ear canal imaging technology. Braintree-based Catalyst Health Ventures led the round, which was joined by Boston-based...
Nanotube Solar Funnel Concentrates Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 14, 2010 — Chemical engineers at MIT have used hollow tubes of carbon atoms to concentrate solar energy 100 times more than would a regular photovoltaic cell. Such nanotubes could form antennas that capture and focus light energy, potentially allowing much...
Long-Lost Lunar Reflector Located
SAN DIEGO, May 3, 2010 — A team of physicists has pinpointed the location of a long-lost light reflector left on the lunar surface by the Soviet Union nearly 40 years ago. Years of searching left many scientists afraid that the reflector would never be found. The Soviet...
T-Ray Science, ULeeds Collaborate
VANCOUVER, B.C., Feb. 11, 2010 – T-Ray Science Inc. has entered into a research collaboration with the University of Leeds in the UK to develop low-cost, pulsed and continuous wave (CW), fiber-coupled terahertz (THz) spectrometers that operate at telecom wavelengths. The commercial...
Light Silences Brain Cells
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 6, 2010 – Neuroscientists at MIT developed a powerful new class of tools to reversibly shut down brain activity using different colors of light. When targeted to specific neurons, such tools could lead to new treatments for the abnormal activity associated...
A backward shock wave comes forward
HANGZHOU, China – A group of researchers has demonstrated a reverse photonic shock wave. As a result, high-energy physics could have a new particle detector, and proposed invisibility cloaks already...
Photron Donates Camera to MIT
Dec 28, 2009 — Photron Inc., a high-speed imaging systems and image analysis software manufacturer based in San Diego, is donating a video system to the Edgerton Center at MIT for long-term use by students and researchers. The center was named for MIT’s professor...
Lasers Induce Brain Waves
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 27, 2009 – Researchers at MIT used a new technology called optogenetics, which combines genetic engineering with light to manipulate the activity of individual nerve cells, to induce gamma waves in mouse brains. The resulting information about neuron function...
Narrower Chip Patterns Made
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 13, 2009 – A method for etching extremely narrow lines on a microchip was realized by MIT researchers, who used a material that switches from transparent to opaque, and back again, through exposure to certain light wavelengths.
The Art of Nano-origami
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 3, 2009 – As if the ancient art of origami isn’t difficult enough, now researchers are bending and folding objects that are a hundred times thinner than a human hair and then putting them to use as electronic devices. A team of Massachusetts Institute of...
Seeing Machine for the Blind
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 14, 2009 – A visually challenged MIT poet has unveiled a “seeing machine” that allows some people who are blind or visually challenged to be able to see. Elizabeth Goldring, also an artist and a senior fellow at MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies, began...
PV Power Boosted by 50%
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 25, 2008 -- New ways of squeezing out greater efficiency from solar photovoltaic (PV) cells are emerging from computer simulations and lab tests conducted by a team of physicists and engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Using computer...
Lasers Mending Broken Hearts
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 4, 2008 – A new scaffold approach developed by a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) could one day be used to mend a broken heart. The idea is that living heart cells or stem cells seeded onto an accordion-like honeycomb...
T-Ray Science Licenses MIT THz Patents
Oct 15, 2008 — Vancouver-based TeraHertz radiation researcher T-Ray Science Inc. today announced it has signed an exclusive patent license agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., to produce spectroscopy and imaging systems...
