Advanced Materials

Every day, MIT researchers are revolutionizing the world of materials science, helping us to better understand and address the challenges we face in developing new and improved advanced materials for a wide range of applications. Through the licensing and protection of these innovations, TLO supports researchers and startups in breaking down traditional barriers so that new advanced materials can be brought to market more quickly and efficiently. This results in a dramatic increase in the development and commercialization of new products and services that improve our lives and protect the environment.

What This Looks Like in Practice

• Nanomaterials: Materials that are engineered at the nanoscale, with unique properties that can be used to develop new and improved products, such as stronger and lighter materials, more efficient batteries, and more effective medical treatments.
• Superconductors: Materials that can conduct electricity without resistance, with the potential to revolutionize energy transmission and storage.
• Smart materials: Materials that can respond to changes in their environment, with the potential to develop new and innovative products in a wide range of industries, from healthcare to manufacturing.

Advanced materials are the building blocks of the future. They have the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. ”
