The Plasma Science Experiment aboard NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft turns off after 47 years and 15 billion miles.

A new method called Clio enables robots to quickly map a scene and identify the items they need to complete a given set of tasks.

“We are adding a new layer of control between the world of computers and what your eyes see,” says Barmak Heshmat, co-founder of Brelyon and a former MIT postdoc.

The nodes are intended to become part of a widespread sea-ice monitoring network.

This tiny, biocompatible sensor may overcome one of the biggest hurdles that prevent the devices from being completely implanted.

A new surgical procedure gives people more neural feedback from their residual limb. With it, seven patients walked more naturally and navigated obstacles.

This technique could lead to safer autonomous vehicles, more efficient AR/VR headsets, or faster warehouse robots.

A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the living brain.

Three innovations by an MIT-based team enable high-resolution, high-throughput imaging of human brain tissue at a full range of scales, and mapping connectivity of neurons at single-cell resolution.

Leuko, founded by a research team at MIT, is giving doctors a noninvasive way to monitor cancer patients’ health during chemotherapy — no blood tests needed.
