MIT Labs, Centers + Initiatives

Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies

This institute is an interdepartmental research center at MIT whose research mission is to use nanotechnology to dramatically improve the survival of soldiers.

MEMs@mit

This center is a collection of intellectually-synergistic but organizationally diverse groups of researchers (faculty, staff and students) at MIT working in the broad area of a micro/nano systems and MEMS.

NanoMechanical Technology Laboratory

This state-of-the-art laboratory in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT probes the properties and surfaces of engineering and biological materials at atomic and molecular length scales through mechanical contact.

NanoStructures Laboratory

This lab develops techniques for fabricating surface structures with feature sizes in the range from nanometers to micrometers, and uses these structures in a variety of research projects. The NSL is closely coupled to the Space Nanotechnology Laboratory (SNL) with which it shares facilities and a variety of joint programs.

Space Nanotechnology Laboratory

The primary mission of this lab is to develop nano-fabrication, advanced lithography and precision engineering technology for building high performance space instrumentation, including x-ray telescopes and high resolution x-ray spectrometers, magnetospheric imagers and solar physics instrumentation. The lab is also a leader in the field of nanometer and sub-nanometer dimensional metrology applied to planar lithography patterning and ultrahigh accuracy optics.

Suresh Group

The Suresh Research Group investigates mechanical properties of engineered and biological materials at the nano to macro-scale using experimental, analytical, and computational techniques.
