Manufacturing
“The challenge of advanced manufacturing aligns perfectly with MIT’s traditional strengths – our interdisciplinary, problem-based research; our technology- and science-centered education; our contributions to industrial innovation; our commitment to entrepreneurship; and our central mission of national service.” - Susan Hockfield
MIT researchers have invented a way to integrate “breadboards” — flat platforms widely used for electronics prototyping — directly onto physical products. The aim is to provide a faster, easier...
