MTL is an interdepartmental laboratory that supports Microsystems research encompassing work in circuits and systems, MEMS, electronic and photonic devices, and molecular and nanotechnology. Our research is enabled by a set of shared experimental facilities, as well as a vibrant industrial consortium. Annually, MTL supports the research of 550 students and staff who are sponsored by contracted research of more than $40M.
Edible Electronics?MTL's fab inspires student Allen Hsu (TA for 6.012) to take his fab recipe into his kitchen. Allen executed a process recipe in his home oven and created a scrumptious cheat sheet for students in Prof. Charles Sodini's class.
Going with the FlowMIT researchers have developed sensors that can measure the pressure of flows around an oceangoing vessel so that it can utilize rather than fight those flows, saving energy and improving maneuverability. Other work aims to go a step further: to change flows from patterns that impede progress to patterns that will help.
