Starting in spring 2018, MIT nanotechnology researchers will no longer have to go to Harvard to find suitable lab equipment. On Tuesday, MIT announced that it has committed $350 million to the construction of a new state-of-the-art nanoscale research facility. <\/p>\n
Dubbed MIT.nano, this building will be located at the heart of MITs campus and take four years to complete. Construction will begin in June, but will significantly affect access to parts of campus near Building 12, the future site of the new structure. <\/p>\n
Currently, most MIT nanoscale researchers either do their work in the Microsystems Technology Laboratories in Building 39 or in their own small labs. <\/p>\n
If you look at the trend of the young professors coming into MIT, the disciplines were developing at MIT, the student interests, the world needs if you look at all of those, the component of nanotechnologies just permeates everything that we do, said Prof. Vladimir Bulovic, the faculty lead on this project and MIT School of Engineerings Associate Dean for Innovation. <\/p>\n
