"Materials Research at the Nanoscale"
|
|
The theme of this year’s meeting will be imaging-enabled nanoscale research on the structure, properties and processing of materials. Invited speakers will describe new tools and methods for atomic-scale structural and chemical characterization of materials, and applying these methods to optimize processing and properties of materials for a wide range of applications.

At the forefront
of new technology
|
MIT Materials Research Laboratory interns met a wide gamut of challenges, working with materials as soft as silk to as hard as iron and at temperatures from as low as that of liquid helium [minus 452.47 F] to as high as that of melted copper [1,984 F].
