Hybrid Thin Film for Flexible Display Screens

Today, touch screens are everywhere, from smart phones and tablets, to computer monitors, to interactive digital signage and displays. Many touch screens are made of layered thin (billionths of a meter thick) films of indium-tin oxide, an inorganic material that is electrically conductive, which allows electrical signals to travel from the "touch" to the edges of the display, where they are sensed by the device--as well as optically transparent.

New Type of Thin Film Protects Surface of Battery Electrodes and Prolongs Battery Life

Lithium-ion batteries are common in consumer electronics. They are one of the most popular types of rechargeable batteries for portable electronics, with a high energy density, no memory effect and only a slow loss of charge when not in use. Beyond consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries have also grown in popularity for military, electric vehicle and aerospace applications.

Seminar Series Shares Progress at MIT.nano

MIT.nano is the most ambitious and disruptive construction project in the modern history of MIT. “It won’t be sneaking under anyone’s radar,” says Arne Abramson, MIT’s director of capital projects. So Abramson and his colleagues from MIT Facilities have planned a series of lunchtime talks to give members of the MIT community a window on the details of the construction process. “Because MIT.nano is changing everyone’s patterns drastically in some way or another, we thought it would be a good opportunity to discuss exactly what we’re doing and why we’re doing it,” he says.
