-|June 29, 2022|Scientific CCD Development at MIT Lincoln Laboratory  (Christopher Leitz)\\ //The Advanced Imager Technology group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory designs and fabricates detectors and readout circuits for imaging applications in support of National Security and scientific exploration. The group has a long history of supplying silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDsfor the astronomy communityincluding detectors for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the Advanced CC Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on Chandra, and the 1.3 gigapixel array for Pan-STARRS at the University of Hawaii. In this talk, we outline both our history in providing these devices for the scientific community and highlight future directions in CCD development – notably use of new detector materials to achieve broader optical response, new fabrication processes to enable lower power consumption, and development of new readout amplifiers for virtually nearly noise-free operation – for applications in X-ray astrophysics, optical astronomy, and particle physics.// \\ Dr. Christopher W. Leitz is an Assistant Leader of the Advanced Imager Technology Group. He is currently researching the use of germanium for short-wave infrared and X-ray band imaging applications, as well as developing new methods for fabrication of advanced imaging devices.|yes|  +|Oct 26, 2022|The project to generate oxygen from Carbon Dioxide on Mars surface (Mike Hecht/Lincoln Labs Haystack Observatory)|yes|HarryF|
