MIT Professor Daniel Nocera and his research team are in a race to make inexpensive energy from the sun – and they want to do it soon. Using plant photosynthesis as their inspiration, this exhibit shows how they can now use the sun’s energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases in a safe and simple way.

Join an admitted student party

Join an admitted student party

Current MIT students are encouraged to attend Admitted Students Gatherings that will be hosted all over the world this spring to welcome and celebrate the students of the MIT Class of 2014.

In the coming weeks, nearly 60 local MIT Educational Council groups and regional alumni clubs will be hosting gatherings to provide the newly admitted students with a special opportunity to learn more about the Institute from current undergraduate students, Parent Connectors, and MIT alumni living all over the globe.

Many of these events take place over Spring break and current students are invited and encouraged to attend these meetings to establish strong connections, answer questions and form lasting networks and relationships with members of the incoming freshmen class of MIT.
