While many researchers at MIT and elsewhere are exploring 2D materials and their special properties, Frances M. Ross, the Ellen Swallow Richards Professor in Materials Science and Engineering, is interested in what happens when these 2D materials and ordinary 3D materials come together.

What's the best way to cut vehicle greenhouse gas emissions?

Policies to encourage reductions in greenhouse gas emissions tend to stress the need to switch as many vehicles as possible to electric power. But a new study by MIT and the Ford Motor Company finds that depending on the location, in some cases an equivalent or even bigger reduction in emissions could be achieved by switching to lightweight conventional (gas-powered) vehicles instead — at least in the near term.

An MIT team has developed a new technique using extreme ultraviolet laser pulses to map the complete electronic band structure of materials at high resolution.
Led by MIT Physics Professor Nuh Gedik
,
the group demonstrated their instrument resolution using four exemplary materials – a topological Weyl semimetal, a high critical temperature superconductor, a layered semiconductor, and a charge density wave system
