Screening new materials with computer vision

Boosting the performance of solar cells and other devices will require novel electronic materials that researchers are working to identify with the help of AI. Now a computer vision technique developed by MIT engineers offers a speedy way to confirm that such materials perform as expected—one of the biggest bottlenecks in the screening process.  The…

How a butterfly’s scales are born

A butterfly’s wing is covered in hundreds of thousands of tiny scales, like miniature shingles on a paper-thin roof.

In molecules, one chemist sees art

One Tuesday morning this past January, So Young Lee walked into a lab on the fourth floor of Building 18 and discovered that her equipment had exploded. It was a minor explosion—thankfully, no one was hurt—but the chemical she had painstakingly made had splattered all over the walls, the ceiling, and the broken shards of…
