### AI overview

The NEMO community uses an open-source platform to manage operations within individual shared research facilities and share facility-specific extensions. At the 2026 NEMO User Meeting, institutions showed adaptations for equipment status and reservations, billing, tool monitoring, chemical management, training, and workflow automation. MIT.nano also presented Hydra, an open-source platform under development for the NEMC Technical Concierge: it connects multiple NEMO installations and draws current information from existing facility systems, rather than replacing them or relying on a separately maintained database. NEMO supplies operational information within a facility; Hydra is intended to make capabilities discoverable across facilities. The article presents this as a way to address the challenge of finding specialized research resources, while emphasizing that facilities have distinct needs and can adapt the shared platform.

### Source excerpt

MIT.nano and the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition gathered facility leaders and technology professionals from across the nation to explore ways to make shared-access facilities more connected.
