MARC planning is officially underway! 🚀

With our co-chairs selected and the organizing committee formed, the team is already working together to plan a conference to remember! While they are hard at work, we’d like to introduce you to the leaders of the MARC2027 Student Committee - the 2027 co-chairs!

Meet Sarina Sabouri, a 4th year PhD student advised by Professor Anantha Chandrakasan and Professor Negar Reiskarimian.

Stay tuned for more introductions, registration information, and conference updates as we countdown to !

What if light could control the next generation of high-power electronics?

MIT researchers are developing a new approach to power switching that uses light instead of conventional electrical gate-drive circuitry to control gallium nitride (GaN) transistors.

Sharon Jung-Han Hsia recently sat down with RLE to discuss her research on optically controlled vertical GaN devices.

MIT and the Institute of Science Tokyo have launched a three-year collaboration to strengthen connections between researchers, students, and industry partners in the US and Japan. The initiative brings together educational programming, exploratory research, and a new MIT-Japan Science Tokyo Seed Fund to support future collaboration.

We’re especially excited that MTL is one of three MIT organizations leading exploratory research projects as part of the collaboration, alongside MIT NSE and MIT IMES.

MTL is proud to be part of this international collaboration and to help build new connections in microelectronics research and innovation between MIT and Japan.

MIT researchers have developed a wafer-scale fabrication platform for silicon-photonics chips that are both flexible and transparent, opening up possibilities for applications that conventional rigid, opaque chips can’t easily support.

Using standard semiconductor manufacturing techniques, the team produced 300-millimeter wafers that can be bent thousands of times without losing performance. The ultrathin chips could enable new technologies including curved augmented-reality displays, discreet wearable health monitors, and other conformable optical systems.

The work demonstrates how advances in fabrication can expand the possibilities of silicon photonics beyond traditional chip formats.

MIT researchers have developed a new “arm qubit” architecture designed to address one of the biggest challenges in computing: enabling qubits to interact with one another quickly while preserving the fragile quantum information they store.

The new design combines two functions into a single qubit: a data mode that stores quantum information and an arm mode that reaches out to interact with other qubits and electronics.

The advance could be an important step toward fault-tolerant, scalable quantum computers capable of running long and complex algorithms - bringing practical quantum computing closer to reality.

Ammonia is essential for agriculture and industry, but producing it today is highly energy-intensive and contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions.

MIT researchers are using machine learning and computational modeling to search for new catalyst materials that could make ammonia production more efficient and sustainable.

Instead of testing countless materials one by one, the team identified the key properties that make certain materials promising and used those insights to pinpoint transition-metal nitride catalysts for further study.

The goal? A more energy-efficient pathway to producing one of the world’s most important industrial chemicals.

What if next-generation wireless technologies could harness quantum properties - without the need for bulky, expensive cooling systems?

MIT researchers have developed a room-temperature platform that generates highly correlated microwave signals using magnets. The technology could open new possibilities for secure communications, high-precision radar, and advanced sensing.

In a demonstration, the researchers encoded information in one microwave signal that could only be decoded using its correlated partner - an approach that could help make communications more secure and resilient to noise.
