MTL’s core mission has been to foster interdisciplinary research and education as well as strong industrial rela- tion in microsystems and technology. MTL has maintained a wide footprint of research that encompasses broad areas of disciplines. They include nanoscale technology and materials as well as nano and microscale devices and systems. MTL’s research portfolio includes a diverse array of novel devices as electronic, magnetic, field emitter, thermal, fluidic, superconducting and quantum devices, as well as integrated circuits and systems, machine learn- ing and neuromorphic computing, biological and medical devices and systems, photonics, and energy. Since MTL’s research has been at the forefront of technology, an advanced, flexible fabrication facility has always been a critical element of MTL. In that regard, the completion of the ultramodern MIT.nano two years ago marked a new era for MTL. The availability of such an advanced, grand-scale fabrication facility is poised to dramatically improve MTL’s position in cutting-edge research. It is therefore, natural that MTL has been closely collaborating with and financially supporting MIT.nano since 2016. For closer collaboration, the 2020 Microsystems Annual Re- search Conference was organized and sponsored jointly by MTL and MIT.nano for the first time. To go one step further, we put together the Microsystems Annual Research Report jointly between MTL and MIT.nano for the first time. The MTL/MIT.nano joint Microsystems Annual Research Report represents a broad cross-section of the MIT community, with 90+ faculty, 121 students, postdoctoral associates, and research staff participating. As the pages ahead demonstrate, an astonishing range of insights and innovations emerge from the users of MIT’s shared fa- cilities. It is a privilege to serve this remarkable community. On behalf of the staff of MIT.nano and MTL, we offer our gratitude for the inspiration you spark in us every day. We know the innovations represented in this report will translate into impact in the world, and we are excited to see what comes next.

  • Hydride Abstraction and Deprotonation – an Efficient Route to Low Co-Ordinate Phosphorus and Arsenic Species
    Hydride Abstraction and Deprotonation – an Efficient Route to Low Co-ordinate Phosphorus and Arsenic Species Laurence J. Taylor, Michael Bühl, Piotr Wawrzyniak, Brian A. Chalmers, J. Derek Woollins, Alexandra M. Z. Slawin, Amy L. Fuller and Petr Kilian* School of Chemistry, EastCHEM, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9ST, UK E-mail: [email protected] URL: http://chemistry.st-andrews.ac.uk/staff/pk/group/ Supporting information for this article is given via a link at the end of the document. Abstract Treatment of Acenap(PiPr2)(EH2) (Acenap = acenaphthene-5,6-diyl; 1a, E = As; 1b, E = P) with Ph3C·BF4 resulted in hydride abstraction to give [Acenap(PiPr2)(EH)][BF4] (2a, E = As; 2b, E = P). These represent the first structurally characterised phosphino/arsino-phosphonium salts with secondary arsine/phosphine groups, as well as the first example of a Lewis base stabilised primary arsenium cation. Compounds 2a and 2b were deprotonated with NaH to afford low co-ordinate species Acenap(PiPr2)(E) (3a, E = As; 3b, E = P). This provides an alternative and practical synthetic pathway to the phosphanylidene-σ4-phosphorane 3b and provides mechanistic insight into the formation of arsanylidene-σ4-phosphorane 3a, indirectly supporting the hypothesis that the previously reported dehydrogenation of 1a occurs via an ionic mechanism. Introduction 4 Alkylidene-σ -phosphoranes (R2C=PR3), more commonly known as Wittig reagents, are widely used intermediates in the formation of C=C double bonds. The arsenic and phosphorus equivalents, 4 4 arsanylidene-σ -phosphoranes (RAs=PR3) and phosphanylidene-σ -phosphoranes (RP=PR3), are rare 4 by comparison.

  • How to Soundproof Light Aircraft
    1 October 2004 Introduction We first put these ideas down in 1990, in the form of an instruction sheet that we handed out with Super Sound Proofing foam mat. Over the years we’ve expanded them, mostly by feedback from users of the product and have printed thousands of these little booklets. You are invited to pass back your experiences‘ with this and the other products that have been added to our arsenal in the fight against noise. We now have acoustical foam materials to be used in Boats, Trucks and Cars as well as new materials used in Architectural applications for home wall a& ceilings, sound studios, gyms, industrial as well as for band practice in the garage! Our specialty is aircraft applications as it is the most challenging! We are always available for free consulting at anytime for any application, to help you with what we know about methods and materials for sound- proofing. We’ll provide free copies of this booklet to groups and Associations; just let us know how many you need. The latest version of this manual is available from our website at http://soundproofing.org/infopages/soundprf.html © Copyright 1998/2002/2004 by Bill Nash - all rights reserved.

  • Oral Abstracts
    1734-A-1902 Model systems for heterogeneous catalysts at the atomic level Hans-Joachim Freund1 1 Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Our understanding of catalysis, and in particular heterogeneous catalysis, is to a large extent based on the investigation of model systems. Increasing the complexity of the models towards oxide supported nanoparticles, resembling a real disperse metal catalyst, allows one to catch in the model some of the important aspects that cannot be covered by metal or oxide single crystals per se. The main purpose of our studies is to provide conceptual insight into questions concerned with a variety of topics in catalysis, including support nanoparticle interaction, reactivity at the particle-support interface, strong metal support interaction, reactions in confined space and development of new instrumentation for surface science studies. The talk will address some of those issues. 1 1773-A-1902 Special metallic gasket sealing for the non-circular profile flanges Gao-Yu Hsiung1 1 NSRRC, Hsinchu, Taiwan Various types of the metallic gaskets for the non-circular profile flanges and the potential applications will be introduced. The sealing surface of flange is flat to accommodate the special metallic gasket with knife edges for the sealing. Both the flange and gasket are made of aluminum alloys and produced by the oil-free Ethanol-CNC-machining process that any non-circular profile, e. g. race-track, rectangular, key-hole, etc., flanges can be made. All the flanges and gaskets after oil-free machining can be assembled immediately without any chemical cleaning. The quality of ultrahigh vacuum at pressure < 20 nPa after vacuum baking has been approved.

  • Recent Advances in the Sound Insulation Properties of Bio-Based Materials
    PEER-REVIEWED REVIEW ARTICLE bioresources.com Recent Advances in the Sound Insulation Properties of Bio-based Materials Xiaodong Zhu,a,b Birm-June Kim,c Qingwen Wang,a and Qinglin Wu b,* Many bio-based materials, which have lower environmental impact than traditional synthetic materials, show good sound absorbing and sound insulation performances. This review highlights progress in sound transmission properties of bio-based materials and provides a comprehensive account of various multiporous bio-based materials and multilayered structures used in sound absorption and insulation products. Furthermore, principal models of sound transmission are discussed in order to aid in an understanding of sound transmission properties of bio-based materials. In addition, the review presents discussions on the composite structure optimization and future research in using co-extruded wood plastic composite for sound insulation control. This review contributes to the body of knowledge on the sound transmission properties of bio-based materials, provides a better understanding of the models of some multiporous bio-based materials and multilayered structures, and contributes to the wider adoption of bio-based materials as sound absorbers. Keywords: Bio-based material; Acoustic properties; Sound transmission; Transmission loss; Sound absorbing; Sound insulation Contact information: a: Key Laboratory of Bio-based Material Science and Technology (Ministry of Education), Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China; b: School of Renewable Natural Resources, LSU AgCenter, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; c: Department of Forest Products and Biotechnology, Kookmin University, Seoul 136-702, Korea. * Corresponding author: [email protected] (Qinglin Wu) INTRODUCTION Noise reduction is a must, as noise has negative effects on physiological processes and human psychological health.
