Video: Crossing Disciplines at MIT

What does cross-disciplinary research at MIT look like?

To answer that question, the Institute profiled three prominent interdisciplinary researchers--including Maria Zuber, a geophysicist renowned for her research on planetary surfaces; Vladimir Bulović (right), an electrical engineer developing lightweight solar cells; and Paula Hammond, a materials scientist creating new nanomaterials for cancer treatment.

View the 16-minute documentary to see how MIT’s collaborative problem-solving culture often leads scientists to seek answers and ideas outside their own discipline.
