NIR fluorescent nanosensor detects plant growth hormone

The technology uses Corona Phase Molecular Recognition (CoPhMoRe), a nanotechnology approach designed by the SMART DiSTAP and MIT researchers. It enables the design of highly selective sensors by coating single-walled carbon nanotubes with custom synthetic polymers. “These polymers form a precise ‘corona phase,’ or binding pocket, which can recognize and respond to specific molecules,” says […]

MIT creates evanescent coupler to copackage electronics and photonics

One year later, the group has created an evanescent coupler to copackage photonics and electronics. Integrating photonics with electronics within the same package “is the transistor for the 21st century,” says Kimerling, a professor of materials science and engineering at MIT, as well as director of MIT’s Microphotonics Center. Significantly, the group’s evanescent coupler enables
