Undergraduates from 10 U.S. universities participated in the first MICRO Summit. The internship program, developed by the MIT Department of Materials Science and Engineering, continues to grow, recently expanding to Northwestern University.
MIT Professor Emeritus Bernhardt Wuensch, a pioneer in solid-state ionics and materials science education, is remembered for his thoughtful scholarship and grace in teaching and mentoring.
With ARPA-E funding, MIT Assistant Professor Iwnetim Abate aims to stimulate natural hydrogen production underground, potentially unearthing a new path to a cheap, carbon-free energy source.
MIT and other researchers developed a framework that reveals phonon stability boundaries in six-dimensional strain space. By analyzing the phonon stability boundary, researchers can understand material properties at extreme conditions and design new materials with desired characteristics.
MIT seniors Louise Anderfaas and Darsh Grewal won the 2023 ASM competition with innovative materials design. Their computational design strategy focuses on enhanced strength.
