Over the last two decades, the world-wide community of nano-engineers has advanced assembly of nano-materials such as molecules, polymers, and colloidal quantum dots into active optical and electronic structures of nano-scale thickness, developing them into practical device technologies of high-energy efficiency. This paradigm shift in device engineering is a sign of the dawn of a new era of electrical engineering and will define 21st-century pursuits. Through examples of commercial and pre-commercial demonstrations of nanostructured devices developed in the Organic and Nanostructured Electronics laboratory (ONE-lab) at MIT, the talk will highlight the emergence of practical, large-area nano-enabled light-emitting devices for lighting, displays, and IR illumination, new types of nano-structured solar cells for ubiquitously deployable energy harvesting, and new nanoscale electro-mechanical structures for computation, actuation, and sensing.
