About MRL

Enriching solid-state batteries

MIT Associate Professor Jennifer Rupp . 

Researchers at MIT and ETH Zurich have come up with a new pulsed laser deposition technique to make thinner lithium electrolytes using less heat, that promises faster charging and potentially higher voltage solid-state lithium ion batteries. Read more

A very good ring resonator

Researchers at MIT and Singapore University of Technology (SUTD) have demonstrated a micro ring resonator made of amorphous silicon carbide with the highest quality factor to date. The resonator shows promise to be used as an on-chip photonic light source at the infrared telecom wavelength of 1,550 nanometers. Read more
