Research Stories

	Ingestible electronic device detects breathing depression in patients	The new sensor measures heart and breathing rate from patients with sleep apnea and could also be used to monitor people at risk of opioid overdose.
	A new ultrasound patch can measure how full your bladder is	The wearable device, designed to monitor bladder and kidney health, could be adapted for earlier diagnosis of cancers deep within the body.
	This 3D printer can watch itself fabricate objects	Computer vision enables contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn’t use before.
	New laser setup probes metamaterial structures with ultrafast pulses	The LIRAS technique could speed up the development of acoustic lenses, impact-resistant films, and other futuristic materials.
	Computational imaging researcher attended a lecture, found her career	A pivotal talk led postdoc Kristina Monakhova to develop smart, computational cameras and microscopes for intelligent systems.
	A new way to integrate data with physical objects	StructCode, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, encodes machine-readable data in laser-cut objects by modifying their fabrication features.
	Twelve with MIT ties elected to the National Academy of Medicine for 2023	Five MIT faculty, along with seven additional affiliates, are honored for outstanding contributions to medical research.
	Boom, crackle, pop: Sounds of Earth’s crust	MIT scientists find the sounds beneath our feet are fingerprints of rock stability.
	Finger-shaped sensor enables more dexterous robots	MIT engineers develop a long, curved touch sensor that could enable a robot to grasp and manipulate objects in multiple ways.
	AI copilot enhances human precision for safer aviation	Designed to ensure safer skies, “Air-Guardian” blends human intuition with machine precision, creating a more symbiotic relationship between pilot and aircraft.
