Twelve MIT student affiliates have won fellowships for the Fulbright 2021-22 grant year. Their host country destinations include Brazil, Iceland, India, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Spain, and Taiwan, where they will conduct research, earn a graduate degree, or teach English.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers opportunities for American student scholars in over 160 countries. Last fall, Fulbright received a record number of applications, making this the most competitive cycle in the 75-year history of the program.
Finding Light in Dark Atomic Clouds

Physics 14, 69
Researchers have prepared and manipulated subradiant states in which collective effects slow down the decay of excited atoms in a dense atomic cloud.
Figure 1: (Left) An atom in an excited state eventually unavoidably decays to its ground state, releasing a photon. (Right) In a collection of excited atoms separated by less than the transition wavelength, destructive interference in their photon emission prevents their collective decay from the excited state (

Revolutionary changes in communications and devices increasingly likely
Graphene chips faster than silicon chips and use less energy
Applications in telecoms, data centres, 5G, IoT, medicine, autonomous vehicles are just the start
It s all down to invisible but scalable micro-ribbons
For years now, scientists and manufacturing companies have evangelised graphene as a wonder material that will revolutionise all aspects of electronic communications and devices. Graphene is a 2-dimensional crystalline allotrope of carbon. Carbon is an element that exists in more than one crystalline form or allotrope The most common and best known allotropes of carbon are graphite and diamond and there are others including graphene and the splendidly named Buckminsterfullerene. Graphene is touted as a stronger, lighter, more adaptable and more durable alternative to the silicon that still sits at the heart of computing and communications everywhere.

How can large amounts of data be transferred or processed as quickly as possible? One key to this could be graphene. The ultra-thin material is only one atomic layer thick, and the electrons it co .
