MIT Nanotechnology Laboratory

MIT Nanotechnology Laboratory is a research center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology dedicated to exploring and developing materials and devices at the nanometer scale—about 1 to 100 nanometers, much thinner than a human hair. Researchers here design tiny structures, such as new materials, electronics, and sensors, with unique properties not seen at larger scales. The lab aims to advance technology in areas like medicine, energy, and electronics by understanding and controlling matter at this incredibly small level, fostering innovations that can transform various industries and improve everyday life.
