Michael Strano set off hydrogen-fueled rockets as a kid. Today his lab is developing nanosensors, bionic plants, nanoscale ice wires, and a brand-new source of energy. If you know of any MIT ...

Michael Strano noted that 2DPA-1 is very similar to Kevlar, a material used to create bulletproof vests. The material is thin and strong. As such, people could use it as a paint or varnish to ...

SMART researchers, in collaboration with TLL and MIT, have developed a nanosensor for noninvasive, real-time tracking of iron ...

Inside the plant, in real time, you get chemical changes that rise and fall, and each one serves as a fingerprint of a different stress," says Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs Professor of ...

Now a catalyst designed by MIT chemical engineer Michael Strano and colleagues could help solve that problem. The catalyst has two components. The first, a mineral called a zeolite, converts ...

Co-author Prof Michael Strano, from MIT in Cambridge, US, said the work was an important proof of principle. “Our paper outlines how one could engineer plants like this to detect virtually ...
