MIT Nanotechnology Lab

MIT's Nanotechnology Lab is a research facility focused on exploring and manipulating materials at an extremely small scale—down to individual atoms and molecules. This field, called nanotechnology, enables scientists to develop new materials, devices, and processes with enhanced properties, such as stronger, lighter, or more efficient products. At MIT, researchers work on innovations in areas like medicine, electronics, energy, and manufacturing, aiming to solve complex problems and create advanced solutions by controlling matter at the nanoscale.
