Work on electrowetting-on-dielectric MEMS stage published in APL

A MEMS vertical translation, or focusing, stage that uses electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) as the actuating mechanism was developed. EWOD has the potential to eliminate solid-solid contact by actuating through deformation of liquid droplets placed between the stage...

STPV named one of the Biggest Clean Energy Advances in 2016

Congratulations to David Bierman and Andrej Lenert! MIT Technology Review has named STPV one of the “Biggest Clean Energy Advances in 2016”. Earlier in 2016, a demonstration of enhanced STPV device performance through the suppression of 80% of...

The DRL wins MIT Green Labs Innovation Award

With the seed funding received in April from MIT Green Labs, the DRL implemented a lab-wide wireless power monitoring network to log energy consumption in real time. Led by Dan Preston of the DRL in collaboration with Ariel Anders from CSAIL, this effort has...
